Reception have #evolved their painting skills today, choosing the correct sized brushes for their paintings. We used warm colours to add leaves to the trees.

Reception #embraced creating autumn collages last week. They layered leaves of different colours to create their autumn tree collage. 

Year 6 #embraced their engineering skills further in our last session. We continue working on our simple structures, while some of us took it a little further developing their sawing techniques

In todays DT session, we reflected on our materials, and if cardboard was the best material to construct a castle with. We found it very hard to cut and not easy to form the shapes. We then started our final castles with a material that was easier to construct with. They #enjoyed creating their…

Reception have been #enjoying creating some autumn leaf prints this morning. We painted the leaves to print the patterns we could see in the warm, autumn leaves. 
 

Year 6  #embraced their engineering skills further in our last session. We continue working on our simple structures, while sone of us moved on to explore sawing techniques. 
 

Year 1 have #embraced some collaging skills, breaking up our faces into new pieces and taking inspiration from Pablo Picasso by layering them down in different places. 
 

Year 2 have been experimenting with perspectives of buildings on a street. We looked at buildings closer to us appearing larger and as they get further away the buildings appear smaller. We started to etch our streets onto printing foam, ready to print in our next session.

In The Hangout, we have been exploring different forms of printing, from making plasticine prints to starting to create our own printing stencils. We have #enjoyed getting messy and experimenting with the prints.

Year 6 have been #embracing their engineering skills in DT,  starting to consider the functionality of their bird hide structures. We explored the amount of pieces our bird hide will need and also the lengths needed for a successful construction.
