Fruit Kidpix

Ms F has finally managed to get some of our Kidpix drawings onto the class blog! We only have a few to share at the moment. Can you guess what fruit we tried to draw? This is our first time using Kidpix and we had fun!

Funny Food Faces!

Yesterday in writing we made some food faces with bread! We used something fruit or vegetables for the eyes, nose, mouth and hair. We thought the faces looked very funny! We did some great writing describing what the faces looked like. We had to think about the colours, shapes and size of the fruit and vegetables. We are going to choose the 4 best pieces of writing to be published next week.

Our Food Rainbow!

We wrote similes today in writing. We made a word bank of all the different fruits and vegetables for each colour of the rainbow. We did lots of talking with different buddies and Ms F put the timer on so we could tell when to stop thinking of ideas and share with the class. Can you think of any fruit and vegetables we have missed? We found blue and violet tricky colours. We are going to publish our similes soon.

Our Fruit Art!

What do you think about our awesome art work! We made it using salt dough. It looked like cookie dough but not the kind you would like to eat! Can you name the different types of fruit?

A Food Alphabet

Today in writing time we played a game! It was lots of fun. We worked with a friend and one of us had a sticky on our head with the name of a fruit or vegetable on it and we had to guess what it was by asking our friend questions. They were only allowed to say yes or no. That got us thinking about different foods that begin with each letter of the alphabet so we went all the way through the alphabet and made a list of everything we could think of. We couldn't find anything for the letters u, x or z though!

Have a look and remember you can click on it to make it bigger.

Giuseppe Arcimboldo

We have been looking at some paintings by Arcimboldo. We think they are funny but interesting because they are faces painted in fruit and vegetables! We have made a list of all the fruit and vegetables we can see. Can you find any we have missed? Ms F
