The next week, Nicki and volunteers returned to Class 4 as they considered how authors and illustrators use type layouts to communicate themes in their books. The children then wrote out phrases from their flood memory tales in beautiful handwriting creating wonderfully wavy, wandering, watery words patterns. Featuring their written work on the project blog, at the library exhibition and in the project printed book was also discussed.
The Class 3 nature lovers then spent a lovely afternoon doing observational drawing and paintings from still life displays using the school’s superb taxidermy collection. Their fascination for their local wildlife is clear in their detailed and well executed studies of otters, herons, ducks and kingfishers.
