Rainbow Fish Art

The Rainbow Fish is an award-winning book about a beautiful fish who finds friendship and happiness when he learns to share. The book is best known for its morals about the value of being an individual and for the distinctive shiny foil scales of the Rainbow Fish.

We listened to the audio book on you tube first, it is told by the famous actor Ernest Borgnine.

Here is how we did our art.

1.First we did a draft in our drawing books and Miss Mills showed us how to add the fins and tail. We then drew on our scales and eyes.

2.Then we drew our pencil outline onto cartridge paper and drew over it with vivid.

3.Next we coloured our scales with pastel then we put tin foil on some scales and glitter on others.

4.The last step was to dye the background blue.

Our art work looks amazing. We are going to put them on our classroom windows to show everyone how amazing and vibrant  we are.

All About Me Posters

In the last few days we have been very focussed in completing our all about me posters. We all have been working very hard on our posters for all people to see. Our all about me posters have lots of questions and you need to write lots of statements. We have tried our hardest to make it eye catching for all to see.

Here are some of the questions;

What do you like? food, drink, books, colours, sport and lots more. We need to know lots about ourselves or it won’t work that well. We use our human talents in literacy to complete our work to a high standard.

This was a really good way to get to know each other and it helped us to settle in to our new class.
