Science and DT Club

Year 3 and 4 begun this year's Science and DT Club. We decided to make kites, as this is the first one since joining the Kite Academy. It was lots of fun making our kites, discussing what materials would be suitable to help our kites fly best. We learnt about how lift is important to help kites fly. We all ran around the playground to make our kites fly, but there wasn't much wind so they didn't stay up for very long!

Keep an eye out for some of the exciting experiments and projects we undergo this term.

KS1 Art Club

In art club we have started our Christmas crafts! For the past two weeks we have been making snowman puppets. The children had to sew their puppets together first and then they decorated them. They look great!

AiA Art Pen Pal Program

Last academic year our year 6 class took part in a art pen pal program. AiA 'Art in all of Us' is a non-profit charity that inspires children and promotes global tolerance by getting children all over the world involved in art! The year 6's took part in a pen pal exchange with a year 6 class in Serbia. The were given the title 'An enchanted forest' and were allowed to design and create their own piece of inspired art work that would then be sent on to the Serbian school.

I sent the children's work in the summer term and got an email this week from the class teacher in Serbia to say they received our work and were very impressed! Here are some photos of the Serbian children admiring the artistic talents of our children! Well done to the old year 6's!!

Remember, Remember the 5th of November..

In art club we had a chat about bonfire night and the type of fireworks we've seen before. We watched some videos to give us inspiration and then drew some beautiful chalk fireworks.

The Gruffalo

Year 1 and 2 went on a school trip to the Haymarket theater in Baisingstoke. We watched a performance of the well known children's book the Gruffalo. We all loved the performance, Children and adults!! In art club we even had a go at making our own Gruffalo masks.

KS1 Art Club

Today in art club we discussed the changes in the autumn leaves. We did some autumn inspired printing using lots of beautiful colours. We think they look fantastic!

KS2 Art Club

In art club we have been looking at the artist Tori Ratcliffe. Tori uses paint and pen to create beautiful  animal portraits. She also does a lot of work for animal charities. We discussed the charities she helps and how she uses the profits from certain works to give to animal charities. Tori has already raised thousands of pounds for different charities, such as, 'Helping Rhinos' and 'Turtle Island Restoration Network'.

We used watercolour paint and pens to recreate her style of painting.
