Year 5 have been looking at Greek pottery and the patterns and scenes that were painted on them. Using sketch pencils, they then created their own Greek pottery designs.
Some of our amazing artwork was even displayed in the pod!

This week, F2 have been making the most of the wet weather
by experimenting with chalk.
We loved how the colours mixed together when we added more water…
… and we saw how the colours looked brighter when they were wet.
The texture became thick and tacky when we used a brush on the wet chalk…
…and we noticed how wet and dry chalk just looked different,
but most of all, we enjoyed making our own fabulous artwork creations.
F2 enjoyed another Forest School session of mud painting today.
Collecting leaves and herbs and sticking them to our sticks can be a tricky, we had to really concentrate and with a little bit of help we all made terrific mud brushes.
Mixing mud and adding magic colour is fun… the children were amazed at the beautiful colours we made today.
We used our brushes and mud paint to make these fabulous creations!
What do you think of them?
Today we had a go at drawing the characters that the gingerbread man met on his adventures. Layla’s pictures were astounding! I’m sure you’ll all agree. A great artist in the making. Well done.
Today F2 enjoyed their first Forest School activity … Mud Painting!
First we collected mud, leaves and sticks
…we had a sniff of the Rosemary, it smelt beautiful
…next we made our paint brushes
…after that we mixed the mud with washing up liquid, water and brusho.
We made some lovely colours
…then we got to work painting
…look at our wonderful creations!
…finally, we pegged them up to dry.
We all had a fabulous time 🌿🍂🍃🍁
In Year 2, we have been using our artistic flair to draw portraits of some of the most memorable monarchs over the centuries.
We found Queen Elizabeth I fascinating as we loved her lavish dresses and found lots of differences between her and Queen Elizabeth II.
We used pencils as our media and observed and drew her face, patterns on her dress by adding dots and lines and have begun to explore the use of lines of different thickness to create texture and tone.
The boys are loving getting involved at lunchtimes. They are becoming much more chatty whilst working too. Well done boys!

The children in the Hub have been demonstrating excellent use of fine motor skills this week for our Chinese New Year celebrations.
We enjoyed our food tasting session with noodles, spring rolls and rice crackers on the menu. We used chopsticks to eat our noodles with and Raphael was crowned King of the Chopsticks.
The children displayed safe use of scissors and excellent cutting skills making their lanterns.
Good speaking and listening skills were also displayed during our story of the day ‘Cleversticks’, beautifully read by Stephanie.
Today, Year 1 had a fantastic time working in teams to create kites as part of their creative session with The Children’s University.
First, we used scraps of material, glue, sellotape and paper to create a kite.
We worked in teams and helped each other. Here are some of our fantastic results!
There was a prize for the top team who worked amazingly and created a super kite!
As a special treat we were also shown a Chinese New Year dragon costume and we got to have a go.
We had a great morning being creative!
As part of our Wow Day to launch the topic, ‘Who first lived in Britain?’, Year 3 designed and made Stone Age replica necklaces. First of all we looked at some photographs of Stone Age necklaces and discussed the materials that these were made from. Using these ideas as a prompt, we designed our own.
We then made our necklaces using clay. We had to make sure there were no cracks in any our pieces.
A few days later, we painted our necklaces and threaded them onto string.
Wow! We can’t believe how beautiful they look!
