Langley Room



The children have been busy examining their faces this week using mirrors to study their features and create funny faces. We have been talking about which emotions people are displaying with their different expressions.
“Happy, sad, grumpy” James labels as he examines Boasi’s photos.
We have also created representations of our faces using paper plates and collage materials.
“I gonna put a buttons, to stick it. Eyes. Stuck it, yes it nose. Hair on top” says Joshua as he constructs his face. “Happy” he continues as he places a mouth at the bottom.
“A mouth and eyes and hair” says Abby.
“Nose, eyes and mouth and hair” identifies Sabian.
Jock looks in the mirror before starting his face, “I see Dock (Jock), one, two guys (eyes)” he says excitedly.
“It me” says Alec as he finds himself in the mirror.
“Two eyes, put some lids. Dere is a nose. It my face. It have some blonde hair” comments Pauline.

We look forward to further examining our facial features, expressions and other parts of our body in future weeks.

Best wishes,
Jess, Kerry, Pippa and Amy
