Craftsmanship and Quality

Today, 5S looked at ‘The Dot’ to help introduce the character trait of ‘craftsmanship and quality’ – it helped us to learn about the importance of always giving the best effort that is appropriate to our ability, and working hard to produce work that is more beautiful every day.

We also developed our art skills by looking at complementary and contrasting colours to create our very own masterpiece ‘dot’.

Painting Fun

Some of the children chose to do some lovely paintings in provision yesterday afternoon, painting themselves, spider man, red vans, flowers and princesses! #LovePlover

New F2M Painting Faces

In our final transition day, the children enjoyed mixing paints “water, sponge, paint, mix, brush” and painted their beautiful faces which was reflected in the mirror. #LovePlover

Amazing artwork!

Year three have been studying the work of Katsushika Hokusai and replicating his piece ‘The Great Wave’. Take a look for yourselves…their work is better than my words!

Well done everyone – great work!

I can’t wait to see the final pieces!

3,2,1…Beautiful Artwork!

In 2L the children have been looking at the work of artist Peter Thorpe. Peter Thorpe created artwork inspired by outer space and used bold, bright colours to bring his imagination to life. The children used painting and pastel techniques to create these beautiful pieces of artwork. They worked really hard and their artwork is fantastic. What do you think?

Character drawing and paintings

The children chose characters from The Great Fairytale Disaster. They used shapes to draw them and then painted their characters. We had Wolf, pigs, bears, Cinderella, giant, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Fairy Godmother. #LovePlover

Innovating the Gingerbread Man

Yesterday and today the children have come up with different ‘happily ever after’ endings to innovate our Gingerbread man story. Well done to the children who have worked hard to write their ending independently using finger spaces, Fred fingers and correct letters.

Beautiful writing from Laura “The dolphin makes a magical bridge for the Gingerbread Man to cross the river!” #LovePlover

5S are artists!

As part of our hook week for our new expedition ‘At the Coalface’, we have used a linked medium (charcoal) to develop our skills in art. We used techniques of blending, smudging, cross-hatching and stippling to affect areas of light, shade and texture. I was so impressed with your focus and resilience when it came to improving your abilities – well done!
