Guitar Practice

Mr Duesbury has sent some of the guitar music so you can practice it at home. 

Henry Moore Wax Resist Technique

In art, we have been learning about Henry Moore who was commissioned as a War Artist during World War 2. He is famous foor his wax resist paintings of bomb shelters in public places. He attempted to portray the feeelings of anxiety and fear of the time period. Here are some pictures of our sketch books where we have researched Henry Moore and practiced his wax resist techniques, considering colour, tone and perspective.

World War 2 Workshop by Tullie House

We had a visit from Tullie House this week for a WW2 workshop. They brought lots of wonderful artifacts for us to handle to help bring the topic to life. The focus was on 'The Home Front' and we learnt about the roles of women in the war, how people prepared for air raids, evacuees and rationing. 

Observation of plant characteristics

This week we started our new science topic where we will be looking at plant classification and lifecylces. Today the children went out to explore the plants in our school grounds and looked closely at them. We sketched the different parts of the plant and describe their characteristics. 

Rainforest Paintings

We studied Australian artist Bernadette Twomeys art work and used it to inspire our own rainforest paintings. This involved choosing a vibrant colour palette and layering large botanical shapes and line details over a colourful background. These will be on display and the County Show in the Education tent.
