Can you walk on tip-toe?

Can you walk on tip-toeAs softly as a cat?And can you stamp along the road,Stamp, stamp just like that?

Can you take some great big stridesJust like a giant can?Or walk along so slowlyLike a poor crooked man?

Can you squeak so softlyAs gently as a mouse?And can you roar so boldlyLike a lion in the house?

I really want to be a cat

I really want to be a cat,what’s so very wrong with that?

I want to scratch and slink and prowlbut all I do is bark and growl.I want to chase the birds and mice -I know it isn’t very nice!

I want to jump upon the tableto steal some food when I am able.I want to climb the highest treebut solid ground is all I see.

I want to purr and go meow,the problem is I don’t know how!I want to prowl around at nightbut all I do is get a fright.

I really want to be a cat,what’s so very wrong with that?

4. When you think your tower is getting as tall as you, go back and stand against the wall next to it.

5. Your partner checks if the tower of bricks is about the same height as you!

6. If it is not, then add or take off some bricks.

Portraits in charcoal

You will need small mirrors charcoal (charcoal pencils could be used as a less brittle alternative) Paper - 1 large sheet for demonstration, the rest for the children A5/A4 is a good size (sugar paper is better than printer type).

Introducing/input1. Explain that children are going to be looking very carefully at their own faces. This is called observing. They will be drawing a picture of

themselves (a portrait).2. Ask children what shape their face is. (They are likely to say round/a circle.). Are they sure? Children look carefully in a mirror/at a partner.

Agree that most faces are longer, more oval shaped but chins can be pointy, etc. Model drawing the shape of your face, in charcoal on a large sheet of sugar paper, explaining that smaller strokes make it easier to get the shape how you want.

3. Repeat the discussion, observation and modelled drawing of your portrait with eyes, nose, mouth etc.4. Wouldn’t it be fun to have a display of everyone’s portraits? Children work on these independently or with adult support.


Notes

If the children are inexperienced with using charcoal, provide a mark marking table with lots of different papers and softer drawing media including charcoal (2b pencils, chalk, pastels, etc.). Children can experiment with drawing different shapes and patterns, smudging and making lighter and darker marks.
