I was amazed at our last session and all the great balancing poses that Professor Marie Murphy encouraged us to try. I had photographed the children and printed the images then cut them out to create simple shape silhouettes. As well as these poses I used some of the balancing tests we tried on my first visit to meet the class back in October. Then the children tried balancing with friends together…


Our task today was to OBSERVE the shapes of the poses and look for lines of balance… So we used Mrs Hughes green broomstick to hold up against the pose to see how straight and upright the person stood or to see what angles their bodies made…


Then we reminded ourselves of how far we could lean over before we would fall over…
We looked back at the balancing poses…
We then tried to OBSERVE and SIMPLIFY the shape of the pose and DRAW it using the SCRIBBLE TECHNIQUE:


Look at the fabulous drawings the children made using black paint and brushes…
