Crew Hamill are extremely proud of their final collage piece! We used blue powder paint to sponge paint a background and then developed our cutting skills further from our drafting session. We critiqued our draft pieces and realised that we needed to focus on the size of the pieces we were cutting and we needed to be more accurate with the shape of the flowers we were cutting. We’re very happy with our final spring designs.







Before completing our final art slice product, Crew Hamill developed their collage skills further by creating a draft of our final product. We concentrated on our cutting skills, ensuring we were accurately cutting the shapes we needed to create our vase, the leaves and our flowers. We then used the collage skills from our previous lesson to layer our shapes together to create a vase full of beautiful flowers.






Crew Hamill became marvellous musicians this week! We recapped our musical vocabulary by completing a definition hunt around the classroom. Once we were sure we understood the terms such as beat, tempo and rhythm, we created our own rhythms using graphic notations. We used frog, tadpole, caterpillar and butterfly, clapping out the syllables to create a rhythm. We worked in mini crews to clap out a given rhythm and everyone had to guess what graphic notations we had been given. Following this, we matched the graphic notations to standard notation symbols. We found this a little tricky but we got there in the end!










Crew Hamill continued their art slice by focusing on the skills needed to be able to complete their own collage. We focused on selecting different sections of colour within our magazines and then cut these coloured sections into small squares and rectangles. We then collaged these together and filled out squares. We cannot wait to use this technique on our final product!
















Crew Haddock have enjoyed easter activities today





Well done to Freddie and Declan for winner the easter eggs.


Thank you to everyone that joined us yesterday for our celebration of learning 🙂 We all loved showcasing our spring expedition!


















Following on from learning about a new artist, we had an opportunity to practice some collaging using paper from old magazines. We discussed the important of cutting different shapes, overlapping and ensuring we filled in the blank spaces.
