Easter Workshop

It was a fun day and a pleasure to see each age group work together and make something special - please come and have a look at our garden after school!

Happy Easter

Class 2 EXCLUSIVE!

Class 2 have been studying Kenya as part of their topic work on Africa. They created some amazing Art and politely visited Class 5 to invite us to take pictures. We were happy to go and practise using a digital camera!

Class 5

The Iron Man & Class 5

Earlier this month Class 5 began studying imaginary worlds by looking at different settings and comparing them to each other.

Below is a sample of work for those parents who are unable to see the children's display work in class. This work was a response to passages taken from The Iron Man by Ted Hughes and The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe by C.S Lewis.

Two pupils used a digital camera to take pictures of paintings inspired by those settings.

Down the cliff the Iron Man came toppling, head over heels.

CRASH!
CRASH!
CRASH!

From rock to rock, snag to snag, tumbling slowly. And as he crashed and crashed and crashed
His iron legs fell off.
His iron arms broke off, and the hands broke off the arms.
His great iron ears fell off and his eyes fell out.
His great iron head fell off.
All the separate pieces tumbled, scattered, crashing, bumping, clanging, down on to the rocky beach far below.
A few rocks tumbled with him.
Then
Silence.
Only the sound of the sea, chewing away at the edge of the rocky beach, where the bits and pieces of the Iron Man lay scattered far and wide, silent and unmoving.

Only one of the iron hands, lying beside an old, sand-logged washed-up seaman’s boot, waved its fingers for a minute, like a crab on its back. Then it lay still.

While the stars went on wheeling through the sky and the wind went on tugging at the grass on the cliff-top and the sea went on boiling and booming.

Nobody knew the Iron Man had fallen.
Night passed.
Just before dawn, as the darkness grew blue and the shapes of the rocks separated from each other, two seagulls flew crying over the rocks.

The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe

Instead of finding himself stepping out into the spare room he found himself stepping out from the shadow of some thick dark fir trees into an open place in the middle of a wood.

There was crisp, dry snow under his feet and more snow lying on the branches of the trees. Overhead there was pale blue sky, the sort of sky one sees on a fine winter day in the morning. Straight ahead of him he saw between the tree-trunks the sun, just rising very red and clear. Everything was perfectly still, as if he were the only living creature in that country. There was not a robin or a squirrel among the trees, and the wood stretched as far as he could see in every direction. He shivered.

Andrew Goldsworthy & Me

I read about Andy Goldsworthy, so I decided to make a collection. In class I used some pictures I took to make a video.

Class 5

(I'm really proud of this pupil - she has used ICT & Art to inspire everyone in class including myself. Mr Short)

Coming soon...
