Doodle and Dance Club
This week our EYFS and KS1 club learnt to follow instructions to draw different pictures such as butterflies, robots and elephants. The children tried really hard and Mrs Wilkinson was very impressed. We then danced to Waka Waka and completed a Super Mario dancing challenge. We are all looking forward to next week.
Art - Inspired by the Rainforest
As part of our new Art unit we have been looking at the rainforest and in this lesson we strayed to look at the beginning of a design process which will lead up to creating a piece of Batik artwork. We collected images, shapes and colours to match a theme and complete our very own mood boards.

Year 2 Art - Exploring texture through rubbings
In Art, Year 2 have been exploring the marks made on paper when making rubbings of objects with various textures.
Year 1 Art: Jasper Johns Artwork
This week Year 1 created artwork inspired by Jasper Johns. He paints numbers mainly using primary colours and blending in some secondary colours. The children showed lots of skill with their paintings, making sure to outline the number with colour and blending colours together where they meet. Their artwork looks very impressive.

Year 2 investigated tones and shades using charcoal and chalk. They also used wax crayons and pastels using different drawing techniques.
Doodle and Dance Club
Children from Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 had great fun in their first doodle and dance club run by Mrs Wilkinson. They doodled on wallpaper and drew their favourite things and then all had a dance to lots of different songs. We can't wait for next week.
Year 5 Art
Year 5 started their new art topic on mixed media portraits, this week. They used a photo of themselves to produce a self portrait comprised entirely of text. They also painted a watercolour wash background for their portrait.
Year 1 Art: Making Secondary Colours
As part of our class discussion, we understood that colour is everywhere around us. Artists use colour to make their work stand out, look realistic and appeal to an audience. The children learnt that there are three primary colours: red, yellow and blue. We can make other colours by mixing these three colours together. The children found that red and yellow makes orange, blue and yellow makes green and red and blue makes purple, which are secondary colours. They had lots of fun mixing the paints to reveal what colour they would make.
Year 3 visit the Rose Garden
It was a lovely morning as Year 3 followed the church service with a walk to the rose garden. The children took great pride in spotting their own artwork and their siblings' pieces.
Year 1 Provision: Advent Wreaths
This week in continuous provision, Year 1 created some Advent Wreaths in the spirit of Christmas, as we have been learning about Advent in our collective worships. The candle on the wreaths symbolises Jesus coming to our world as the light. Year 1 really enjoyed this and cannot wait to display these at home.
Year 3- 3D Christmas Cards in the making
Year 3 Elves have begun creating their 3D Christmas cards. From pop-up trees to 3D snowmen, the Elves are working so hard on their designs. We are sure our busy little Elves will finish them all in time for Christmas!
