Y3 - Parent Collective Worship - Building Bridges

Date: 1st Jul 2024 @ 5:01pm

At the end of our current topic 'Building Bridges' we gathered our parents for a Collective Worship.

Our theme was all about reconciliation, with God, each other and ourselves.

We performed a dance to 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' and showed some of our art work that we had produced in lessons. This showed a friend that we were close to, and a way that we could make our friendship bridge stronger.

Y3 & Y4 - Textile Artwork

Date: 10th Jun 2024 @ 11:35am

As part of our textiles topic we focused on an underwater theme and the work of two artists.

First we made some still life sketches, focused on curves and movement in material.

Then we explored the work of Hannah Rae a textile artist.

We made some sketches from different marine creatures and added to them using different medium; chalk, pastels and crayon.

Then we chose our final sketch and enlarged this to A3 size.

Finally we have cut and added fabric to our sketch to create pattern, before adding stitching for detail.
