Beautiful art work!

We have kick started our art case study and have been focusing on how to create a vanishing point. 6B absolutely smashed their sketching yesterday and produced the most beautiful work! I am so proud! This is really going to help us when creating our final product!

Year 6 Fieldwork

Year 6 started their hook into our new expedition today with a ‘looking up’ walk around our city centre. We looked at significant buildings and the vast history our city has to offer. I’m looking forward to doing the same with the rest of the children.

6B have been working as artists! 🎨

6B have been continuing to work as artists today and drawing using perspective.They were inspired by the work of Stephen Wiltshire and his cityscape sketches. They were so excited to have a go at their own city scales this afternoon!

Ask your children to share a fact about Stephen Wiltshire!

Art expert

Mel Hewitt from XP visited us today to show year 5 how to draw trains and teach them about perspective and the vanishing point. The children enjoyed seeing her amazing drawings and made a great start on having a go at their own drawings.

Expert Visit

This morning, we have been joined by author and illustrator, Phil Sheppard, who has talked to us about his story writing and illustrating, as well as his research for his books all about Doncaster. We will be using Phil’s book as our model text for our first writing cycle, so we have enjoyed asking him lots of questions and learn from his expertise. We were even lucky enough to hear a little about Phil’s next project! Thank you, Phil #LovePlover
