Term 1 in Woodpecker Class
We are reading…
The Explorer by Katherine Rundell.
From his seat in the tiny aeroplane, Fred watches as the mysteries of the Amazon jungle pass by below him. He has always dreamed of becoming an explorer, of making history and of reading his name amongst the lists of great discoveries. If only he could land and look about him.
As the plane crashes into the canopy, Fred is suddenly left without a choice. He and the three other children may be alive, but the jungle is a vast, untamed place. With no hope of rescue, the chance of getting home feels impossibly small.
Except, it seems, someone has been there before them …
Our artists of the term are…
David Hockney
David Hockney is a British artist who loves using bright colors and bold shapes. He paints pictures of everyday life, like swimming pools, gardens, and people he knows. He often experiments with different ways of creating art, using paint, photography, and even iPads! His work is fun, cheerful, and full of life.
Paul Cézanne
Paul Cézanne was a French artist who lived a long time ago. He loved painting nature, especially mountains, trees, and fruit. He looked carefully at shapes, colors, and how things fit together, which helped him create paintings that feel real and interesting. Cézanne’s work helped other artists learn new ways to see the world.
