Henri Rousseau inspired art work.

This afternoon the children looked at three different jungle pictures by the painter Henri Rousseau. 



We talked about what they could see, what colours had been used and which one was their favourite and why. 
They then had a go at creating their own versions of his jungle paintings. 












They produced some fabulous pictures which will be put up on display in the classroom.

Bread Making

What a treat! This morning Alfie's Uncle came into visit and demonstrate his skills as a local baker. We talked about what ingredients we needed, mixed them together and kneaded our dough. We then manipulated our dough into different shapes before letting it prove and baking. We learnt that at the bakers they use a special machine to mix and beat the dough and that whole meal bread is the trickiest to bake! Bakers work through out the night so our bread is baked fresh and ready for the morning. We poured in the flour.  Then we added an improver, salt and sugar. The salt is important to need the yeast.

We ...
