The story ‘Pumpkin Soup’ by Helen Cooper transformed the home corner into the old white cabin and inspired creativity in all three Reception classes.
A variety of misshapen and colourful pumpkins provided the still life. Texture, line and colour were captured through a variety of drawing materials (including watercolours) and the children were encouraged to ‘sandwich’ these materials by layering, smudging and careful mark making.
Thank you Mrs Willis, Mr Woolley and Miss Thompson for encouraging our artists to notice the knobbly, lumpy pumpkins and drawing attention to the stripes, dots, lines and colours of the skins.
