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.

Tooth Decay Egg Experiment

In Years 3 and 4 we have been looking at teeth. We have been looking at what causes harm to teeth and how to look after them.

Egg shells are similar to our teeth in their structure so we put hard-boiled eggs in different liquids (water, orange juice, vinegar, cola and milk) to see what caused the most damage. Here are some pictures of our experiment:
