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!

Beautiful Butterflies
For our Mother’s Day cards we drew butterflies, to link to our expedition. We worked hard to ensure our butterfly was symmetrical and learnt how to use shapes to build up our picture. Mrs Williams was so proud of how beautiful they turned out and how hard we all worked.
We hope all the special mother figures in our lives, have a lovely day celebrating on Sunday!

Mother’s Day Flowers
During provision it was lovely to see these children want to make some Mothers Day arts and crafts. Such a kind gesture! #LovePlover



Final Product
We have decorated and filled our seed packets with wildflower seeds, in preparation for our Celebration of Learning. #LovePlover
Investigating teeth
In year 3, we have been investigating the impact of sugar on teeth and how to take better care of them. We used plaque disclosing tablets to check how well we brush our teeth and created posters to promote better oral hygiene.

We are innovators
Today we have taken the tune of two nursery rhymes we know, and created our own song lyrics. We used music to share what we know about how caterpillars grow and change. Here are our performances!

F1 Celebrate Shrove Tuesday
F1 have enjoyed learning about Shrove Tuesday today. We learnt how to make pancakes and most of all, enjoyed eating them. We practised how to use our knife and fork and used lots of mathematical language, such as first/then/next.

preparing for our final product
Mrs Bubb modelled how to use the different resources. Then, we had a go at drawing flowers with each of them. We tried paint, oil pastels and felt tip pens. We discussed which we found easiest to use and which we thought looked best on our paper. We then chose which we would use to create our final product.
we are artists!
This week we have been looking at using emotion in our drawing. We practised drawing happy flowers, that grew tall from having lots of sun/water. Then we had a go at drawing sad, droopy looking flowers, that had not had everything they needed to help the, grow.
