Matisse Line- Stanger on a journey maps.

Teaching Year 6 students to cut a Matisse line figure is always fun. And certainly interesting when you tell them that only paper and scissors are to be used. When I tell them no pencils are allowed they looked socked and then worried. How are we going to cut out a figure without drawing first... So here are my examples that I cut in front of them as a demo to prove that it can be done easily....This is my gnome in yellow, samurai in blue and fairy in pink... I love the shoes!A map at the beginning stages....
A map finished, with a witch on her broomstick. She has flown through the forest, over the lake, around the mountains, over the volcano, fought the monster, gone through the caves, over the river, across the bridge and finally to the castle...
Another wonderful journey map with Santa's little helper collecting presents... Sometimes things fall into place..... I hope you like the maps!

Long Day- (students on another planet?)

Yea, the day was long..... Sandpit yard duty is always an interesting distraction. Between little students telling tales that, "someone has been eating food off the ground"? Yuck???? or that "someone broke my sandcastle", or "someone threw sand at me", or "no one wants to play with me"! We do usually have to settle a lot of little dilemmas.....

Here the Year 2's are getting their "Rainbow fish" underway.. Beautiful!

These are Year 6 maps for "A Stranger On A Journey" now these are a work in progress. So next week I can show you the STRANGER that heads along the journey...

After a long staff meeting after school and being told that the curriculum needs a major over haul, great more work! In between writing school reports we now have 6 or so weeks to get the curriculum folders up to date. Yea, life can't get any better can it? I suppose I could be eating food off the ground???? Yuck!!! oh the glorious life of a teacher... Too tired to post a RED.....there is always tomorrow...
