Autumn 1

Some animals have special abilities like being able to camouflage themselves on different surfaces. Sometimes it can be really hard to see them when they match their skin colors and patterns to their surroundings.

The children studied some of these animals to help understand why they camouflage.

Using dry media ( pencils, coloured pencils) and blending techniques, the children began to sketch animals and tried to camouflage them.
