This week we have been making a display of the family tree of Mary Queen of Scots.
We began by making detailed line drawings of leaves. Using the shapes we created in these drawings, we then drew these images onto coloured and patterened paper and cut them out to be collaged to make a tree.
To make the trunk of our tree we ventured outside and took rubbings from the trees around our school to be cut down and stuck on to our tree trunk.
Once we had created our tree we then researched Mary Queen of Scots family on the internet and in books. We used these facts to complete our beautiful display.
What we think of our display?
Daniel said he enjoyed cutting out and drawing.
Scott said he liked sticking down the leaves.
Scott said that he liked his leaf and put a lot of detail into it.
Nicola added that we added leaves from outside as well.
Nathan liked going outside to do the tree rubbings, but thought it was quite difficult.
They all thought it looked very good!
