Jack and the Mermaid Lagoon
This week we have planned to write an alternative version of Jack and the Beanstalk! The children thought of some great ideas. We have changed the Giant to a Mermaid and instead of a beanstalk, Jack will dive into a crystal, clear lagoon to the Mermaid’s castle!

Today we have enjoyed bug hunting, mud painting, making wands by tying knots and making observational drawings of insects.

I see shells!
Today we have practised continuous line drawings of shells! We found it quite tricky to keep the pencil on the paper and not take it off until the drawing is complete. However we were determined to create some beautiful art! Look what we have done.
