Year 5 #embraced their textile skills this afternoon, creating paper patterns for their stuffed toy. We then used our patterns to cut out all the sections, pinning them in place.

Year 3 #enjoyed discussing miracles, looking at the Bible story Jesus heals a man born blind. We discussed what miracles are and if we believe that Jesus really could perform miracles. 
 

Today, Year 5 have #evolved their drawing skills, exploring tonal shades. We looked further at the different values of graphite, using them to draw a detailed leaf from observation. 

Year 2 #enjoyed looking at the work of Keith Haring.  We looked at the characteristics of his work - his use of line, colour and form - and created an exploration page in our sketchbooks. 
 

Reception #embraced their winter drawing activity, exploring thick and thin lines. We really #enjoyed creating our expressive winter trees.
