As the children are learning the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff in Literacy and in Science they are looking at the similarities and differences of different materials.  We thought we would transfer our skills about materials into our Art work by experimenting to create different textures with different materials to produce a collage piece of work.

The children had a piece of card divided into three sections representing the different scenes in the story…

…the children had to decide which material they could use to represent the texture of soil…

…then they had to think about different textures for the river…

…and finally the texture of the ‘fresh green grass’.
