Year 1 Have an Amazing Arts Week!

5th July 2019admin

Year 1 have had a fantastic but busy week celebrating The Arts this week. There’s been so many workshops and visitors the week has flown over!

Williby Roc’s

Williby Roc’s came in to make art with the children using recycled materials.

Here they are creating dream catchers.

Dance Workshop

Year 1 had a brilliant time with Miss Smith learning a dance routine to perform with the whole school in assembly. They are amazing dancers!

Body Percussion

Children used their hands, feet and voices to keep the beat and make a rhythm.

Romans Workshop

5th July 2019admin

Year 3 had a fabulous fun packed drama day yesterday! We had Jenny who is a drama teacher in school to teach us all about the Roman Timeline through the use of drama. We learned lots of fun facts about the Romans and ended the day by piecing all of our talent together and putting on a Romans Performance for our parents!

Arts Week Y3D

5th July 2019admin

This week is ARTS WEEK! We are so exciting and have started the week off adding our updated self-portraits for Year 3! We used lines and sketching to help us achieve some wonderful self-portraits.

We then looked at some pictures from our recent trip to Beamish Hall, we choose our favourite elements and created landscape watercolour paintings of the gardens. Take a look!

Stop-Motion Club – Lego Building Lego

5th July 2019admin

In our second week of Stop-Motion club, we made videos of Lego models, but with a twist. These model looked like they were building themselves – which was quite difficult.

Some of the children experimented with these videos, using their hands to cover or make models disappear.

Keep an eye out for future videos from the group.

Matisse Style Portraits

5th July 2019admin

We have had a fabulous morning in Y3D learning all about the life of artist Matisse.
We then created portraits in his style – take a look! Ask us questions about his life and his passion for colour.

Buddy Benches

12th June 2019admin

There has been a lot of decorating going on in our yards recently. Three of our children’s Buddy Bench designs were used as a stimulus to paint three benches – one for each yard. Year 6 Playground Buddies have been helping children that are feeling lonely, or need a friend. We have some new toys and equipment planned for each Buddy area.

 

ELMER DAY

By J Devlin2nd April 2019

Y3D Have had a fabulous morning for Elmer Day! We have worked hard to make Elmer a new blanket making sure each coloured patch is the equivalent fraction of colours to every other colour we used. We were able to decide how big the blanket would be and then how many squares we would need of each colour. It was a little more challenging than we thought it would be but we had lots of fun.

We then went outside and took part in an Elephant March then created our own Elmer – the weather was beautiful and we had a great time deciding how to make ourselves into Elmer! Take a look.
