The children had fun this afternoon in art printing with paint. We looked at how we could use Lego bricks to create prints by painting and stamping the blocks. The children experiment with pattern, shape and colour. Some children challenged themselves to make their initials using the blocks.
We loved our cave art lesson today! We got under our tables (like we were in a cave) and used paints to create positive and negative prints with our hands. We really enjoyed this and loved being in our “caves”.
This week we were very excited to have some parents and carers come and join us. The children showed off their writing that they have been doing about seasons. We then talked about the signs of autumn, winter, spring and summer. The children then worked with their parents to create Read more

Year 6 looked at how we can best analyse a famous painting. We looked at how artists tell stories or show feelings through their artwork. We interpreted the painting by trying to suggest its meaning, and looked closely to try and identify and notice small details, describing them after sketching.
This week we have been reading the story ‘The tiger who came to tea’. We have also been investigating and making our own tigers. We have all worked very hard!
We looked more into cave art from the prehistoric times. They loved seeing the simplicity of them. We see last weeks picture that we drew and recreated it on a larger scale, using charcoal.
Today we have been using charcoal like our ancestors would have done to create some Stone Age artwork. Here are some pictures of our learning.
Last we used paint and different materials to create different textures. This week we then used this textured work to create a collage of a seaside. We had to chose collage materials based on the colour and texture and try out different arrangements of materials, including overlapping. Once complete, we Read more
We looked at some simple shapes to help us draw animals! We first sketched these shapes out, then added detail to create the more complex shapes and then, turn it into our animal! Can you guess what animal we had drawn?
