Cooking and Nutrition - Design and Technology
For our final Learning Experience of the term, we will be designing and cooking our own cupcakes. We will begin by looking at and testing existing products before designing our own cake flavours and appearance. We will then be joined by a visitor, Mrs J Boddy, who will be sharing her professional cooking knowledge with us to help with our baking. We will then decorate and test each other's bakes.
We began by testing out and analysing existing products.
Japanese Painting - Art
During this Learning Experience, we will be taking inspiration from Japanese artists - Yayoi Kusama, Katsushika Hokusai, Hiroshi Yoshida and Takashi Murakami. We will learn techniques used in traditional Japanese paintings as well as analyse how colour combinations create shade and tone. We will use everything we have learnt to create our own finished artwork inspired by Japanese paintings. Finally, we will host an art gallery for families to attend, take in the art and even try out the techniques!
