Year 3 - Cave Art

Linked to their topic, the children have been exploring cave art and learning about how early man communicated. Last week the children looked at the materials that would have been available and were used and also the limited symbols that were shown in these paintings as there was no alphabet or modern symbols that they see now.

Each child created their own painting representing an event in their own lives. Also paper was secured to the underneath of some tables and the lights turned off so that in small groups they could add their own part to a group cave painting. They found this very exciting and Finley said "it really feels like I am in a real cave!"

The children crumpled paper to create an uneven surface and used natural colours in their individual paintings.
