Book and Reading Club
Book and Reading Club at Mead!
Reading... with Parents... having fun? Can these things go together?
Of course they can!
Come and join the Book and Reading Club at Mead! Each Thursday evening, we gather together and discuss the latest book. What did we like? What was it about?
These activities help us to dig deeper and work together with our children.
"It's a terrific book!" claimed Wasakh when discussing 'Diary of a Killer Cat' by Anne Fine.
Want to give it a try? We'll be here again in September!
Artists in Kenya
Artists in Kenya!
On Thursday 30th June, the children of Kenya Class (Year 2) took part in an Art lesson with the artist, Heather Libson. They were instructed to draw a rabbit.
"Make it as fluffy as you can!" was the task. Kenya rose to the challenge, using charcoal, graphite, chalk and even rubbers! They sketched, they blended, they smudged! The end results were fantastic. Judge for yourself.
"It was great, I learnt a lot!" said Lily-May.
"When can we do it again?" asked the whole class.
Year 1's artist fun!
Year 1 were visited by the artist Heather Libson in the weeks commencing 20th June.
Heather created the workshop for the children in a bid to introduce them to new art materials and to help them gain new skills. The children used charcoal to create drawings of ducks. A child from Australia class said that the charcoal "makes the feathers look soft!"

The children then used twigs dipped into watery black paint to add more striking lines and colour to their pieces. After talking to the children about their experience, 100% said they enjoyed creating their pictures and that they would like to do it again.
Heather Libson commented on the high quality of work that the children produced.
As a result of the workshop, all of the children were able to create a piece of artwork and all felt confident to take part in the lesson. It was wonderful to see the sense of achievement on the children's faces.
