KS1 Pride of Plover

5th October 2025Mr Pickering

Well done to this week’s Pride of Plover winners in Key Stage 1. We loved hearing about your courage in your learning. Whether this was through challenging yourself to try something harder and being brave to have a go at something new. Well done everyone!

We are artists.

5th October 2025Mr Pickering

After learning about the Great Fire of London, 2P developed their art skills so that they could use them to produce a piece of art that is inspired by the fire. We learnt about the primary colours and then mixed them to create the secondary colours. We discussed how colours can evoke feelings of warm and cold and used this to create a sun and moon image using these colours. We then used this knowledge to mix colours to create a background wash that looked like fire and we applied this in layers using sponges. We then used our cutting skills to create a cityscape silhouette to layer onto the background we had painted. We did some brilliant art!
