What a busy few days Year 1 have had!
On Monday, we continued with our history themed topic and we spent some time looking closely at the colours of the Great Fire against the night time sky. Could we recreate it?
Using marbling inks, the class chose appropriate colours to represent the fire. Patterns were formed by floating the ink colours on the surface of some water. Then, the children used a thin stick to swirl and merge the colours. Finally, paper was laid on top and the colours were absorbed.
Once dry, the houses were created and placed against the background.
The results are simply stunning!
