Art in MI
Some of us started working with water colours this afternoon in our art session. We used water colours to paint our own bees 🙂 We were all super focussed and loved doing this after a morning of assessments.
The other half of MI worked independently on some sketching. Children used a step by step clip to create their own drawing of a bee. There were some great first drafts 🙂 We can’t wait for our final versions!
Kitchen tour in MI
Today we joined Amy in the kitchen where she discussed food hygiene and safety with us. She gave us a tour of the kitchen and showed us what happens on a daily basis when preparing our school dinners. She discussed the equipment she uses and why certain chopping boards are certain colours. She talked about cross contamination and why basic food hygiene is so important. She then showed us the school fridge and discussed where foods need to go. She linked this back to cross contamination. This was such a great opportunity for us and will support us in our first design and technology lesson tomorrow 🙂
Crew MW – Final product artwork creation
In Crew MW, we have been creating our collages ready to be included in our final product. We started by practising our cutting skills before applying them to cut out an outline of a creature from under the sea. We cut along different types of lines and even challenged ourselves to cut around shapes!
After a discussion around collaging and the skills needed to do this, we then began to collage our creatures to create our first draft.
We then spent time doing a gallery walk to provide our peers with praises and wonders to form critique to make our sea creature collages even better. We talked about using different materials in different ways to create different textures, as well as making sure that most of the white areas were covered to make our collage look more effective. We then got to work acting upon these wonders, reflecting on making improvements to our existing work.

in Crew Haddock, they were using their fine motor skills to make an emotion teddy.
KS1 Final Product
Today our final product for our Spring Term expedition was delivered to the local scout hut. We enjoyed going over to have a look and see it in situ.
Fab Henri Matisse artwork
I have been really impressed with our Henri Matisse artwork because it has been tricky with it being smaller pieces and designs to create. Well done Crew Marsh!
Who would you find on Noah’s Ark ⚓️
Today we continued with our collage skills to create our Art work in the style of Henri Matisse, we created animals which Noah invited onto his ark. We thought carefully about the colours and shape of the materials we used to create some beautiful pieces! We were very proud!
Exploring Henri Matisse
This week we have been artists, exploring the collage techniques of a Henri Matisse, a French artist.
Firstly, we had a gallery walk and shared our notices and wonders about his work. We collected ideas and created a giraffe in preparation for our final piece where we will collage different animals to place in Noah’s Ark! We thought carefully about how how we could manipulate materials to create shapes.
Painting
Today, nursery enjoyed creating some messy art outside using clingfilm and paint. We loved using the different brushes and sponges to create different pictures.
