Year 6 - Expressing Myself
Today, Year 6 began exploring their creative side using graffiti as a stimulus for their artwork. The children experimented with colour, pattern and design, using masking tape to create a four-letter word or slogan across their page. They then used vibrant oil pastels to build a bold and colourful scene around their design. Once the artwork was complete, the children carefully removed the masking tape to reveal their hidden slogan, creating a striking contrast between the vibrant background and the clear lettering. The finished pieces showcased the children’s creativity, imagination and ability to use different artistic techniques to create an impactful piece of art.
Year 4: Science
This week in Science, we were spent time researching animal habitats.We focused on Polar, Ocean, Rainforest and Grassland habitats and the children used their Chromebook’s to access the internet and answer the following questions: What animals live in your habitat? what plants live in your habitat? What is the climate like in your habitat? What are the conditions like in your habitat? The children worked really well in mini groups in order to collect the information, recording this in their books.
Reception: Mark Making
This week, our Reception children have been hard at work strengthening their fine motor control and perfecting their mark-making skills through a creative activity inspired by Elmer the Elephant! To build early writing skills, the children were challenged to decorate Elmer with various patterns using felt-tip pens, allowing them to practise key pre-writing strokes: drawing straight lines for grids, fluid wavy lines for movement, and anti-clockwise circles and dots, which are essential building blocks for forming letters like a, c, d, and o. The children showed great concentration and pencil control as they explored different shapes and colours to complete their vibrant patchwork designs.
