Year 3 and 4 enjoyed sharing their final product with children across school. We had some amazing feedback from year 5 and 6 who enjoyed completing the activity sheet.

Capturing the Tiger Cat (through Art)
This week, Crew White have been exploring the striking patterns and features of the Northern Tiger Cat through Art. After studying photographs and discussing what makes this elusive animal so unique, the children chose either to sketch the whole creature or zoom in on a single feature—most popular were those bold, expressive eyes.
Using oil pastels, our crew has layered colours, blended carefully, and experimented with texture to bring their artwork to life. The results are brilliant: vibrant close-ups full of detail and powerful full-body pieces that really captured the movement and markings of the tiger cat.
The class showed real focus, creativity, and pride in their work. We can’t wait to display these in our expedition products soon.
Christmas
Crew Frost has loved getting into the Christmas spirt! We have been lucky enough to have a visit from Santa and receive a book each. Next we have been working hard in provision getting our decorations made for our tree and using our school logo as the tree topper. In expedition, we have been learning all about the Nativity, who is in it and why we celebrate it. We can’t wait to show our very own Nativity next week! Well done crew Frost!
Our School Community
This week in Crew Frost, the nursery children have been learning about the term community, specifically their local community and our school community. In these images, the children are taking part in a school community walk, where they explored the school grounds, visited other classrooms, greeted teachers, and even had a sneak peek at some amazing dance routines in the hall. This was a fantastic concrete experience for the nursery children, and they especially enjoyed waving to their siblings and people they knew. They were also fascinated by the expedition displays, which sparked so many who, what, and where questions. Well done, Crew Frost, for demonstrating excellent listening skills and meeting expectations while walking around the school!
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!
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!
People Who Help Us!
In Crew Ramsay, we have been learning about the police for our 3rd Case Study. We have started by learning who the police are presently before we move onto learning about police in the past. We had so much fun acting out different scenarios where the police help us and our town! Here we are being heroes….
Remembrance Day.
This week Crew frost have been focusing on Remembrance day on our expedition. The children learnt what a solider is, what their job is, and we were Poppy’s to remember them by. The children loved learning about Miss Frost’s parent who were in the army and looking at all my old photos They couldn’t wait to show their respect by making a poppy and putting their fine motor and creative skills to the test, Well done Crew Frost we are so proud of the respect you showed.
