Art & Design
This afternoon the children in Kingfishers Class took part in their sharing session with their adult/s. The children and adults were challenged to work together to create a dinosaur using recycled materials. The children and adults had lots of fun! The dinosaurs were fantastic. Well done everyone! A big ‘thank you’ to all the adults!
This term in Art we have been exploring the human body form! Across two lessons the children traced an image of a skull and photocopied it before creating their own day of the dead skulls! They are all so fabulous and now on display for all to see! Well done Woodpeckers!
Earlier this term the children enjoyed their Art lessons within forest schools; they explored the ceramic artists Ranti Bam and Rachel Whiteread, and looked at their pieces of work and created their own using similar techniques. The children have had a fabulous time sculpturing bugs, pinch pots, patterned clay tiles and finally designed their very […]
On Wednesday 4th December, children from the Owls and Swans class travelled to London. The first stop was the National Gallery and then to the Lyceum Theatre to watch The Lion King Musical. Thank you to all the adults who accompanied us on the trip. A great day was had by all.
In Art the children designed and made a mandala which can be used as a sun catcher. At break time they collected autumn leaves. They used the autumn leaves to create a circular pattern which they tried to make symmetrical. Amazing art work.

Miss Jones showed the children an image of a Clarice Cliff’s Circle Tree plate design. Miss Jones asked the children to […]
The reception children became artists and used ‘loose parts’ to create a collage. The children were encouraged to use the ‘loose parts’ to create fireworks. Great work Kingfishers.
The Reception children became ‘artists’. The children went on a walk to collect natural objects such as feathers, grass, flower buds or heads, leaves, twigs, pine cones. The children looked at the collection and discussed how they might use the objects to create paintbrushes. They also thought about what kind of pattern or texture they […]
The Swans have been writing diaries in role as somebody on board the Titanic. They have also produced some amazing sketches of the ship.
The children in Year One became ‘artists’ and started a new unit of work – Painting and Mixed Media. The children thought about the question – Can we investigate how to mix secondary colours? The children listened to the Sesame Street Lego Three Primary Colours. Miss Jones asked the children some questions- What are the […]
In Art, the Owls looked at the work of the sculptor Magdalene Odundo and how she prepared for her sculptors by drawing in 2D but making it look 3D. We had to draw large shapes, using our whole arm. We used lots of overlapping curved lines in different colours to make our work look 3D.
