Muck, mess and mixtures!

What shape is a bubble? How is mud made? Which stuff is stickier? 

These are questions that we will be answering this term.

Let’s get messy! Muck and mess are good. In fact, they're marvellous. Dive in and get your hands and feet all sticky and covered in paint. Play with liquids, squish some dough and check out the slushiest and mushiest foods. Pour, mix, stir, splat. How does it feel to get your hands covered in goo? Make a wobbly jelly and draw with wibbly clay. Write recipes, instructions, riddles and poems – there are loads of scrummy words to describe messy mixtures. Work with paint and other squelchy stuff to create a new gallery space. What will you make? How will you arrange it? How will the gallery make you and your visitors feel? Don’t worry about the mess – it’ll always wash.

The topic this term is art driven, so your child will develop their creative skills and knowledge through exploring different materials, textures and colours.
