Oak class spent a relaxing afternoon developing their sketching skills, using light and dark to create sketches of trees.

Perfecting our Pastels
In Rowan class today, we have continued to develop our oil pastel skills, inspired by the Northern Lights. Everyone agreed that it was a very relaxing afternoon!
Beech class water art
Today we had fun creating underwater art using water colours and pens. We thought about how the light and colour changes from the deepest parts of the ocean to the shallowest. We also went a little off topic and researched the fascinating Mariana Trench, which then inspired our strange watery creatures (thank you Poppy!)
Oil Pastel Techniques
As part of our Alaska topic, Rowan class began to develop their oil pastel techniques this afternoon. We are working towards creating a Northern Lights-inspired piece of artwork using oil pastels.
Oak class – Maths, Art & PSHE lesson
Today we continued to unwind after SATS by planning a Lunar Theme park for a colony on the moon. We were given a budget, had to cost out what we wished to include in the park, work out income and even our profit! Some of us really thought had about the budget and what had to be repaid or how to bring in extra income. What fun!
Here are our final park designs from a birds-eye view:
The Royal Wedding!
Are you excited as Year 3 for the Royal Wedding?
Superhero Vehicles in Pips
Just look at all our Superhero vehicles that you helped your children complete for their home learning. We all appreciate how much time and effort you have taken to help your children complete this task. They are all very proud of them.
Farm display in lots of different languages
Mrs Charnley has been working with children in Pips to paint farm animals and to write the words in English and the children’s first language.
Creative Staff?
As part of this afternoon’s staff meeting, the teachers working in groups to represent our school using Play-Doh. What do you think these models represent?
Maya Logograms
After learning all about how the Ancient Maya recorded information, Rowan class created our own logograms, which would have been useful during Maya times. After generating lots of ideas, we created them using clay with the help of Mrs Hake.
