Today, Year 3 designed their very own fossils using clay and outdoor materials.
They also learnt about the stages of fossilisation and created their own zig zag book.
Art and DT
Y5 Greek Day
Before the Easter break, we had a Greek day; we enjoyed designing and making our own Greek inspired pots; we all made Greek salads and we held our very own Greek Olympics (without the wrestling!)
Year 3 DT and Science
Year 3 completed their puppet theatres today and explored how shadows changed size depending on the light source distance. They were able to design shadow puppets and perform a mini show to their friends. What a great afternoon!
Year 3 DT
Year 3 explored construction today ahead of making shadow puppets as part of their science unit ‘light’.
They worked hard in groups and showed fantastic grit and determination to make these stages out of cereal boxes!
We can’t wait to watch their shows!
Year 2 Explores Architecture
In Art Year 2 have been exploring architecture. They looked at famous buildings around the world before designing and making their own buildings out of cardboard. At the end of the unit, an architect came into school to tell them about what it was like to do the job in real life and even showed them some examples of plans and architectural drawings.
Year 5 Get Ready to Make Greek Salads
Year 5 has been tasting ingredients in preparation for their cookery sessions this half term. They’ll be making delicious Greek salads! The staff were really impressed by the children’s willingness to try new things, and feta cheese and olives were a real hit! We can’t wait to share our creations.
Deserts and Valentine’s day
This week we have been learning about the Desert and the celebration of Valentine’s day. We learnt about what animals live in the desert and why it is so difficult to live there. We also learnt about how people celebrate Valentine’s day and we made cards for our loved ones.
Mayan printing
This week in Art, Year 6 created brilliant Mayan prints. Inspired by the geometric shapes and repeating patterns used by the Maya people, children first made cardboard tiles and glued on their designs using string. They then painted the string on the tile and pressed down onto their piece of paper using a variety of colours. We were impressed by their creativity and concentration during this process!
Year 4 Electronic Iron Man Faces
Year 4 finished the term by designing and building Iron Man faces with electronic glow in the dark eyes. They had to wire up the LED bulbs with batteries and switches using all of their knowledge about electrical circuits taught this term. We were very impressed with the final outcomes.
Year 4 Iron Man illustrations
We have spent a number of weeks building up to our final Iron Man illustrations. The children have enjoyed studying the work of other artists, practised new water colour techniques and experimented with using a range of different drawing media. Our final pieces are now complete and ready to be displayed in the classrooms and on the year 4 corridor display.
