Year 1 - Art - Observing Fauna.
Our Year 1 children recently embarked on an exciting exploration of the school grounds in search of fascinating flora. They became true investigators, carefully observing the plants they discovered and then translating their findings into detailed close observational drawings. A wonderful way to learn about the world around us!
Year 3 Art - Using Exaggeration As A Tool To Convey Intention.
In art Year 3 have been learning how to use exaggeration as a tool in their drawings. They completed two exercises to help them draw from life and to explore how they might use exaggeration to convey intention in their own drawings. To complete their drawings they used line and shape.
Nursery - Computing - Creating Spinning Snail Shells
The nursery class enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to further develop their digital literacy skills by navigating the draw function on Purple Mash. With focused concentration, the two-year-olds explored the tools and experimented with creating lines and shapes. A clear objective was the creation of a spiraling snail shell, and it was fascinating to observe the diverse approaches children took to achieve this. Some children made deliberate, circular motions, carefully building their spirals from a central point outwards. Others experimented with more free-flowing lines, gradually curving them to suggest the spiral form. Throughout the activity, children demonstrated increasing confidence in using the digital drawing tools, readily clicking and dragging to bring their artistic visions to life. There was a palpable sense of pride and accomplishment as they showcased their finished snail shells, highlighting their growing digital proficiency and creative expression.
Reception - Art and Design - Carboard Creations
Here's a draft social media post you could use: Look at the amazing creativity blossoming in our Reception class!
Pre-School- Expressive Arts And Design- Caterpillar Creations
The children have been exploring all things caterpillars this week. Creating a caterpillar using the making tools to shape their caterpillar and adding features. This promoted fine motor skills and imagination to bring their creation to the page. When designing their caterpillar the children used language from the story book 'The Hungry Caterpillar' using their recall and sequencing skills.
Nursery - Earth Day
Today is Earth Day! To commemorate this day our activity was based on how we look after our world! During this activity, the children demonstrated a clear understanding of where rubbish belongs. When rubbish was scattered in our clean classroom the children pointed and expressed that it needed to go in the bin! Their immediate reaction and verbalisation show strong expressive language skills. The children then worked together to collect and dispose of all the rubbish that had been planted in the classroom, using brilliant observation skills to find every piece of rubbish. At the craft table, the children selected pieces of blue and green tissue paper and attempted to stick them onto the paper using PVA glue. They initially struggled with spreading the glue but persevered, using their index finger to dab and spread it, showing developing fine motor skills. The children made links with the blue area being water and some children made links with animals that they might see living in the water. At the malleable table, the children manipulated the blue and green playdough, using a pinching action to pull off small pieces and moulding them together. When asked what they were making, they replied, "Earth!" Their manipulation of the playdough using pinching, rolling, and splatting showcases developing gross and fine motor skills.
Year 3 Art - Telling Stories Through Drawing
In their art class, the year 3 students have discovered that artists, such as Inbal Leitner, use sketchbooks as a way to react and connect with other creative works of art.

Reception - Celebrating the Hindu Festival of Holi!
Our Reception class had a fantastic time learning about and celebrating the Hindu Festival of Holi – the festival of colours! The children enjoyed exploring colour through a variety of creative activities. Outside, they used spray bottles filled with vibrant paints to create beautiful art on large sheets of paper, mimicking the joyful splashes of colour seen during Holi celebrations. Indoors, they used digital tools on the interactive whiteboard to create their own colourful masterpieces, experimenting with shape, colour, and design. It was a fun, engaging way to learn about different cultures and traditions while developing our artistic and fine motor skills. What a colourful afternoon we had!
Nursery - R.E - Exploring Colours In Relation To Holi Celebrations
What a colourful and exciting time we've had today, just like the wonderful Holi festival that Hindu people celebrate! We popped water balloons and made so many bright colours appear. The children were fantastic at naming all the colours – red, blue, yellow, green, purple and orange! And it was amazing to watch how the colours mixed together to make new ones. Just like Holi is a celebration of joy and colour, we've filled our classroom with happiness and beautiful colours today. Well done, everyone, for being such brilliant colour explorers!
