History detectives

In 5CS, we have been investigating Ancient Greek artefacts. What do you think they are? What do they tell us about life in Ancient Greece?

Year 5 Pandora’s Box

We have started to look at the Greek myth ‘Pandora’s Box.’ We completed a conscience alley to persuade Pandora to open or not to open the box.

4C’s Take One Picture Project

This half term, as a school we have been looking at The National Gallery Take one picture project. We have looked at the following artwork : A Regatta on the Grand Canal.

Here are some of our drawing challenges that we used to learn more about the painting. We had to : draw as much as we could in five minutes; draw as much as we could in five minutes without looking at our drawing and draw as much as we could in five minutes using our non dominant hand.

As a class, we decided there were lots of things we are excited to explore on the painting. The first thing we have looked at is the clouds. We had the chance to make clouds in three different ways: wax candles, sponges and bubbles. Have a look at our work.

3N Rainforest Art

3N have enjoyed exploring the work of Ruth Daniel’s in art. They have explored the use of tone and line and have created some wonderful final pieces. Here are some examples of our work painted using water colour.

3N Rainforest Poetry

This week in year 3, we have been exploring different poetry. We have explored rhyming poems and haikus. Today, we wrote some wonderful haikus based on our new geography topic of rainforests. Here are some examples of our wonderful writing:

Year 4 Church Visit

This week year 4 went over to church. We got to spend some time in the sun. We learnt lots about the Christian Calendar and all the days and celebrations that happen, we made Trinity bracelets and we made reflection book marks.

Henry VIII visit

In years 3 and 4, we have been learning about significant British monarchs in our history topic this half term. We were lucky enough to have a visit from the brilliant King Henry VIII.

We had a fun filled day. We learnt about: how Henry VIII became king, his six wives and what happened to them, what it was like to live in the Tudor times and Tudor sports (jousting and foot wrestling).

Here are some pictures of our day:

3N Self portraits

In years 3 and 4, we have been looking at Hans Holbein for our art topic this half term. Did you know he was known as the camera man of Tudor times? We even had a go at painting our very own self portraits using water colours. See our fantastic work below!

3N Brass Concert

3N have been working really hard with Mrs Tobin to play either the trumpet, euphonium or cornet.  We enjoyed learning to play, read music and understand musical vocabulary.  Today, we were really excited to share our pieces with parents and family members and we hope you all enjoyed our concert.
