Team R:
This week in Team R we have been enjoying being outside and practising for Sports Day with Coach Maltby. We also planted some seed bombs to encourage butterflies and bees to visit our lovely area. We can’t wait to see how they have exploded over May Half Term. In the afternoon we enjoyed DT by all taking part in making delicious fruit kebabs with the help of Team 5/6 practising using knives safely in the kitchen. Check out the pictures below.
Team 1 / 2:
Year 1/2 explored perspective through the landscapes of artist John Constable. They learned to create horizon lines and apply watercolor washes, then strategically placed trees and a house to differentiate the foreground and background. The children were incredibly proud of their impressive landscape artworks!
Team 3 / 4:
This week, Team 3/4 explored the emotional and symbolic art of Edvard Munch, especially The Scream! We discussed how colours and shapes can show feelings like fear, sadness, or excitement. Then, we created our own expressive pastel images using bold colours, wavy lines, and imaginative symbols—some used swirling skies, surprised faces, or even mysterious landscapes. It was amazing to see how everyone interpreted their emotions through art, just like Munch did! Check out our vibrant masterpieces below.
Team 5 / 6:
Team 5/6 got hands-on with a dynamic art project inspired by Futurism, an early 20th-century art movement that celebrated power, speed, and movement. They created expressive clay sculptures based on athletic action, such as running, jumping, dancing.
After exploring the bold and energetic shapes of Futurist artworks, the students sketched their own designs, each one capturing a sense of strength and motion. Whether it was a runner mid-stride, a dancer mid-leap, or a figure stretching through a jump, each design showed off the powerful lines and dramatic poses that make Futurism so exciting.
Using their drawings as a template, the children built their sculptures with care and creativity. They thought carefully about how to make the figures look strong, dynamic, and full of energy – just like the athletes they were representing.
