Art & DT Case Study
Yesterday, Crew Gray started their third and final case study for their rainforest expedition. We began with the exciting task of designing our own picture frames as a class. Then we shifted our focus to learning how to work safely with wood tools, exploring equipment such as vices, saws, and sanding blocks. We discussed responsible handling, protective gear, and how to support one another during practical activities. We can’t wait to see these designs come to life!
Congratulations Year 5/6 Netball Team!
A huge congratulations to our Year 5/6 pupils who took part in the recent netball tournament. They played with great teamwork and determination, earning an impressive 3rd place.
We are very proud of you all !
P.E
Crew Haddock had a fun session in p.e trying out the new activities.
Case Study 3 Begins!
Crew McLoughlin have officially begun their third case study of DT and Art! Yesterday, pupils worked in groups to design their frames, sharing ideas and planning how their final pieces might look.
Today, they moved on to researching their artist, Frank Bowling, exploring his vibrant style to inspire their own work. They also spent time practising key oil pastel skills, including sgraffito and blending from light to dark, building a strong foundation for the artwork they’ll create later in the case study.
Oil pastels inspired by Frank Bowling
As part of the creation of our final product for our Expedition, ‘Lungs of The Earth’, Crew White have been exploring oil pastel techniques along with research the abstract artist, Frank Bowling. We used Google Classroom again to help develop independence and organisation. We look forward to sharing our final designs with you soon!
David Hockney Art
Crew Ramsay have been making David Hockney inspired photography art! Here we are proudly displaying our collages!
number formation
Two of the children have been practicing their number formation before they did their maths learning.
Diving into Google Classroom
Crew White have recently been using Google Classroom to help them become more organised, responsible and digitally confident. It gives them a simple way to keep track of tasks, access resources and show their growing independence.
This week, they have been researching sustainable materials and presenting the advantages and disadvantages of different materials.
Subitise
Subitising is a crucial skill children must master to be amazing mathematicians! Subitising involves looking at an amount and instantly knowing the numerical value for example; I can see 3 dots. In today’s game crew Frost has taken it in turns to role the dice from 1 to 3. When the dice lands on a number the children have to make their way across on the subitising cards that matches the number. To stretch and challenge we even added some cards with different colored dots! Well done crew Frost! You were so kind at taking turns and showing courage taking part in our new game!
