Crew Ramsay as artists

Today in expedition we have been artists. We have worked really hard to use charcoal effectively to create our own sketch of Carcroft School. We had a practice of using different skills and techniques before applying this knowledge to our learning. Miss Holdsworth was really impressed that we remembered some of our key words when praising each others work, such as blending and outline. We were so proud of the beautiful work we produced, we showcased this by completing a gallery walk.

Our feelings

Continuing with The Colour Monster in our expedition, crew Frost have been exploring their own feelings, and choose a colour monster to represent it. We explored why we might feel this way and all feelings are ok and there are ways to change them. Now we are building strong knowledge on our emotions we are ready for our feelings check in’s!

Story Map

This week the children have been creating story maps about the gingerbread man, from this they have created their own versions how the gingerbread man crossed the river “he could use a surf board” and “he could use a jet pack”. We turned these ideas into drawings and sentences remembering our capital letters, finger spaces, and full stops.

Peter Thorpe Artwork

This week the children in Crew Robson have worked hard to create a piece of artwork based on the work of Peter Thorpe.

They have created several drafts and have given and received critique to improve their work each time.
Today we put the finished touches to our artwork by adding the Moon and a rocket zooming through space.

The children were so proud of the artwork they created and I am so proud of them too!
