Our trip to Rosemoor
Thursday 4th July 2013
• We looked at the
work of three
artists called
William Morris,
Gaudi and Escher
who all use patterns
in their work.
•
Next we went for a
walk in the gardens
where we chose motifs
we could use later in
our patterns e.g. petals
and leaves. We also
got to look at the
parts of plants which
we have been learning
about.
• Using what we found
in the garden we
began to create our
own repeating
patterns.
• Everyone enjoyed
eating their lunch
outside and playing
in the cob hut.
• After lunch we
enjoyed using our
invertebrate
collecting tool to
find mini beasts in
the woodlands.
• Later in the
afternoon we spent
some time pond
dipping where we
found fish, water
snail, damsel flies
and other
invertebrates.
•
Everybody enjoyed exploring Rosemoor and had a fantastic
day out.

John, our teacher at Rosemoor, was impressed by the
children’s knowledge of plants and insects. He said the
children had great vocabulary and he enjoyed their
enthusiasm in sharing what they already knew with him. One
child even informed him that “millipedes are from the
myripod group” which he said no child had ever told him that
before!

Ms Hayles and Mrs Robinson are very proud of the children.
