Case Study 3 Begins!

27th November 2025Charlotte Newman

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.

David Hockney style artwork

This afternoon we have looked at the work of David Hockney and how he used Ipads to create artwork. We have then created a piece of artwork in the style of him. We glitched our images and placed them in a different order to look just like David Hockney’s artwork – we are so proud of them!

Writing Experience Day!

27th November 2025Shannon Colclough

For our next writing unit, we will be constructing a letter to the Romans to tell them all about Christmas. However, yesterday we received a letter from a Roman citizen called Marcus. He told us about their Roman celebration Saturnalia. We then had a go at making sun decorations, writing menus for a feast and creating small gifts. This helped us to understand the festival Saturnalia.

Character Traits

Crew Ramsay loved learning about our character traits and the superheroes which represent them! We made up actions for each hero and did some drama around what this trait might present as in our lives. Here we are modelling our action for ‘Courage’. Don’t we all look so courageous!?
