Yesterday afternoon, Class 3F tried out a bit of cave painting using chalks. The children discussed what we can learn from the prehistoric paintings such as: how people lived and hunted… They also discussed the traditional methods of hunting thousands of years ago and came up with some excellent answers. Spears, axes and catapults were mentioned as well as setting traps to catch animals. They also discussed the animal types which existed and hunted such as: mammoths, Saber Tooth tigers, sloths, horses and deer.
The children then experienced what it might be light to try to draw using basic materials in awkward and uncomfortable positions. It was a lively and enjoyable afternoon, if not a little noisy for poor Mr Farry!
Hi, my name is Mr Farry, I still consider myself very much part of a great team in a great school, we really do ALL pull together to ensure the children complete a fantastic and enjoyable curriculum. I am still the P.E coordinator (a veteran now that I’ve joined the over 40s club), and still completely passionate about sport and my role in sport at Park. I am still actively involved external sports (both team and individual) and consider this essentially to maintaining a healthy body and mind. The children will tell you I’m still the jovial and humorous person I was when I joined the school, buy I’m simply four/five years older and ‘hopefully’ a little wiser, albeit with a few stray greys! My classroom is a busy place, with high expectations whilst still maintaining a nurturing environment, especially with the kind and generous Mrs Lucas by my side. The children, thus, continue to feel comfortable and content in their learning environment.
