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 !

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.
