Year 6 have #embraced painting their cubist still life that they drew last week. Using bright colour palettes, we have even used some complementary colours. We can’t wait to finish theses next week.

Year 5 #embraced working in our school environment to create their own land art, inspired by Andy Goldsworthy. Collecting moss, leaves or sticks, our imaginations ran wild leading to some very exciting land art pieces. 
 

Year 4 have been developing their tonal drawing skills over the past few weeks, understanding that by adding pressure we can achieve a different value of colour.

Year 5 have been #evolving their drawings skills, by upleveling their tonal drawings skills. We looked at the values we can get from our drawings pencils by applying different types of pressure. When then had a go at transferring our skills to transform our leaf line drawings. 

Year 6 have been #evolving their drawing skills during our new topic, and learning new techniques. We have been developing our continuous line drawings and working on size, shape and detail. 

Year 4 have #embraced using the place value counters for division this morning. Maths We partitioned the digits and even exchanged!

Year 4 have #embraced their making skills by using their designs to make their torch prototypes. We attached our switches, ensuring that the circuit will complete and also added handles and other design features. They can't wait to house their circuits next week to test their designs!

Year 4 #enjoyed using their scientific learning to support their new DT topic. We started to design our own torches, planning where the circuit will fit and incorporating all the features of a torch.
 

Year 6 fully #embraced their photography task in their last session. They were to take 10 photos of an object and put them together in a photomontage like our artist David Hockney. Some superb creations!

Year 6 #enjoyed looking at the work of David Hockney in our last session. We explored his works in photography, and looked at how he put together his photo montages. Their sketchbooks were buzzing with creativity as they made their artist research pages.
