Some children went to Norwich Cathedral with Miss Peek and Mrs Forrest today for a musical art experience. They were able to listen to a range of instruments and watch as artwork was created alongside each piece.
Thank you to Norwich School for hosting us!
This half term, Year 4 have been learning all about food from around the world. This afternoon, they were treated to a masterclass in making Vietnamese Summer Rolls by Mr Cross. They were shown how to soak their rice paper until flexible, before filling it with lettuce, carrot, beansprouts, coriander, basil, spring onion and sweet chilli sauce. Mrs Stevenson was even put to the test to see if she could roll one!
Back in class, all children had the opportunity to make their own, choosing their fillings and then taste them if they wished.
They were very pleased with the results!
Today year four were lucky enough to be able to try a range of different foods from around the world. These included such delicacies as pierogi from Poland, papaya from Mexico and samosas from India. They evaluated their smell, appearance, texture and taste and gave them a score out of five stars. We look forward to making some of our own international cuisine next week.
Year 6 have started their new art topic, inspired by the abstract style of Patrick Heron. This week, we experimented blending colours together in order to create a sunset. Everyone showed creativity and teamwork; a great start!
Year 3 enjoyed creating their own cave art today. They were able to use continuous lines and pastels to create different effects. They also enjoyed creating and using stencils as part of their work. Have a look at their work in action!
This week, year 5 have been busy dreaming big! Over the past few weeks, we have been learning about architecture and dream homes. We have been exploring architectural features and design in homes both large and small. We have been working in teams to create our own dream homes using ideas from our sketch books.
Year 3 have explored Vincent Van Gogh, Alice Kettle and Hannah Rae in art. They thought about different shades and brush strokes, as well as texture. They were able to add stitches to their artist inspired work today and we’re all proud of their finished products!
Today, Year 3 designed their very own fossils using clay and outdoor materials.
They also learnt about the stages of fossilisation and created their own zig zag book.
Before the Easter break, we had a Greek day; we enjoyed designing and making our own Greek inspired pots; we all made Greek salads and we held our very own Greek Olympics (without the wrestling!)
Year 3 completed their puppet theatres today and explored how shadows changed size depending on the light source distance. They were able to design shadow puppets and perform a mini show to their friends. What a great afternoon!
