1. Muck, Mess & Mixtures Street Detectives Focus Art & Design English
This way or that way? Where should we go? Up to the village hall or down to the playing fields? Let’s learn about our community, looking at houses old and new and finding out how our streets have changed since our mums and dads were young. Perhaps your granny or grandpa went to your school or maybe they worked at the baker’s shop? Make maps and plans of the streets around us, planning our routes. What can you see? What can we find? Whereabouts do you live? Do you know your address? Find out how to write instructions, directions, adverts and learn rhymes from different times. When the Lord Mayor writes and asks us to help make our street a better place, it’s time to get your thinking caps on and paintbrushes at the ready!
Let’s get messy! Muck and mess is good! In fact it’s mega-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!
Don’t worry about the mess.., it will always wash!
