This week we have been very busy collaging milk bottles to create our own Elmer elephants. We used our motor skills to independently spread the glue onto the bottle, chose which collage pieces to put where and used coloured eye stickers to stick either side of the trunk. We read the Elmer story together and discussed what patterns we could see.

F2M created our ‘Perfectly Crew Meade – This Is Us’ collage – which represents everyone, diversity and our we care Wednesday motto ‘Different Families, One Love’ where we discussed how some people have different family dynamics.
This all links to our compassion character trait for our colour run tomorrow!
F1 have been exploring chalk and paint in different way today to create patterns. We used a variety of different tools such as cotton buds, brushes, toothbrushes and sponges. We laid on our tummies whilst doing this to work our stomach muscles, and practise our gross motor skills at the same time.

Year 5 have been getting creative in art, inspired by the brilliant artist Clare Youngs. Clare makes colourful animal collages using lots of different shapes, patterns and textures – and we decided to have a go ourselves!
Our theme was rainforest animals. We created creatures like butterflies, jaguars, toucans, birds and monkeys. First, we drafted our ideas and sketched out how our animals might look. Then came the really exciting part – working with a partner to create a final collage together. It was great fun to share ideas, combine our designs and see how two brains could come together to make one amazing piece of artwork.
The finished collages are bright, bold and full of rainforest life. They look incredible on display and really show off our teamwork as well as our creativity.
We’re so proud of what we’ve made – Clare Youngs would be too!
