Fun with Cups!

On the 24th of April 2017 the class linked up with Andrew in his studio in sunny Spain! Fridays are cherished in R23. Andrew chatted to the pupils about the structure of a story and how it is made up of a series of steps or stages. The pupils had to think about their own lives,  their family members, friends, hobbies etc. They then had to draw at least 3 images that reflected aspects of their lives. The images were coloured in and cut out. A small window was cut out of 1 plastic cup, the pupils’ drawings were carefully stuck onto another cup. This cup was inserted inside the cup with the window. As the outside cup was turned around the different images could be viewed. Without any prior planning the pupils had to think up a short story based on their drawings. The pupils were keen to tell each other their stories! Andrew then asked them to write their stories down. The pupils were keen to do this and a magical silence enveloped the classroom! All the pupils were on task and eager to make a written record of their ideas. This week’s activity had been a great stimulus for the pupils’ creativity. Another great session!
