Lynne Chapman, author and illustrator

What a brilliant morning we had at Featherbank today!

Year 2 and Year 1 met a very special visitor.....

 

Lynne Chapman is an author and illustrator and she came to school to show us how she draws her brilliant pictures. She also read us two of her books, taught us a song about a dragon and let us have a go at being illustrators too!

She answered some great questions about how she became an author and illustrator and where she gets her ideas from.

We are VERY excited that she has left us with THREE signed drawings of characters from her books; these are going to be framed to hang in our library when it has been refurbished.

 

Thank you Lynne, we hope you will come and see us again!

 

Do you have a message for Lynne?

What would you tell someone about her visit to our school?

The Big Draw 2012

 

THE BIG DRAW!

What a brilliant day we had today!

It was time for The Big Draw again at Featherbank and this year we have learned about the artist Paul Klee. Did you know that he taught himself to paint with BOTH hands?

Did you learn a lot? What did you enjoy doing the most? Please leave a comment to tell us what you enjoyed!



 

      Florence Nightingale

In history we have been finding out about who Florence Nightingale was and why we remember her. We have used the Internet and books to find out lots of information about her life. Everybody enjoyed our Florence Nightingale role-play areas. We hope you like our photographs!

Bramley Fall Woods

We had a fantastic trip to Bramley Fall Woods. We really enjoyed collecting leaves, acorns and other interesting things. The afternoon was spent looking closely at all the wonderful things we had collected. We made leaf prints, did some leaf rubbings, used magnifying glasses to look at the things in more detail and we even had a competition to see who found the smallest and largest leaves.

We have really enjoyed making these crazy looking portraits out of old newspapers and magazines. We think they look fantastic!
