Today, we made a coin to commemorate the King’s Coronation, out of the clay. First we rolled the clay and sang a little somg as we did it. We worked so carefully using tools to engrave the King’s cypher. On the other side we made our own cypher. We even showed texture by using a tiny stick to make indents and lines.

(Art)Gallery Walk
This video shows how we critiqued and explored a noteable artist called Peter Thorpe. The children loved talking to eachother all about shape, line, texture and colour. It was slightly more noisy than when we wrote our observations and drew our own pictures! Watch this space for our masterpieces!
We are Artists – Protocols
1M have been learning about space, Maw Jemison and Peter Thorpe’s artwork this week. They have collaborated superbly during text marking, silent galleries and gallery walks! #LovePlover
Art Critique
Today we critiqued Peter Thorpe’s art work. 🎨 We noticed and praised the colours, lines and shapes he used. Some of us had wonders about his colour choices and shapes. We discussed how his art made us feel. There was a mixture of emotions! We then had a go at our own piece and critiqued that. Tomorrow we will use our wonders to make an improved piece of beautiful Peter Thorpe inspired art. Click on the link to get a feel of our classroom this morning.(sound on) It was amazing!

Project in a Box
This week Year 5 will be taking part in Project in a Box. We will be looking at all the different jobs that are involved in creating, buying, selling and looking after the buildings we use. Today we worked in small groups to figure out how to build the tallest tower, with limited resources and money.
Project build
Year 5 have had a fab morning working together to figure out how to build the tallest tower, with limited resources.
Awesome art!
We have used our observational skills to draw our self-portraits. To start, we took our picture on the Ipad and then had a go at drawing what we could see. After, we learnt some specific art skills to improve what we had originally done. We then used critique to make small improvements for our 3rd draft before doing our final critique and product. You can really see the progress!
