We have enjoyed learning about the artist Picasso. We have recreated a snowman in the style of Picasso. We created multiple drafts before our final attempt which we we are all super proud of 🙂

Christmas Art
We have studied the artist Claude Monet for our Christmas art. We have created drafts in our sketchbooks and applied the brush techniques on wood cookies. We are very happy with the final product!
Personal Development
Y6 got the opportunity to apply for a position that was advertised: Carcroft Tuck Shop Coordinator. The children were taught how to apply for a job, relating it to the real world, using the job description to help fill in individual application forms. The well deserved 3 children were successful and application forms have been saved for the next coordinators in March. Watch this space for the Carcroft Tuck Shop to have its grand opening next year!
Scotties fun!
In our latest Scotties session we got to toast marshmallows around the campfire and have a Nerf war! Lots of smiles all around!
Christmas writing
Last week, we joined a hangout with schools around the world to create our own adventure short stories. The children throughly enjoyed using their imagination and having the freedom to write their own ideas down on paper.
We’re looking for an inspiring Learning Coach at Plover School!

Christmas Pointillism
For our Christmas art slice we have been looking again at Georges Seurat and pointillism.
We started by doing the background which we then left to dry.
We then used primary colours for the star, lights, tinsel and baubles.
Christmas Art
Crew Hamill continued their Christmas art today by practicing some art skills required for their final piece whilst also producing their first drafts. We used outlines of heads which had been split into segments to practice our small brush strokes and our accuracy. We weren’t allowed to go over the lines and we had to make sure we used small brush strokes which will be required for our final piece.
Once we had done this, we then drew some circles that mimic the shape of our final piece and produced a step by step draft of the design we will be painting on to our Christmas baubles. This gave us multiple attempts at perfecting our brush strokes and making sure we were happy with the shape and design.
Writing in MI
Today we continued to edit and redraft our previous plot point, modifying our nouns. We highlighted the nouns we had used in our own writing then modified each one as we redrafted the plot point. We all tried really hard to do this 🙂
