What’s been happening in school?

• Year 6 have enjoyed their trip to Filey Beach today! Watch out for photos on the website next week!

• Thank you to all the parents/carers who joined us in year 3 this morning to share an art activity with the children. It was lovely to see so many of you in the building today.

• We have some exciting art topics happening in school at the moment.

Year 1 are looking at the artist Tracy McGuiness-Kelly who uses lots of spirals in her art! 

Year 2’s artist is Picasso - they are drawing portraits.

Year 3 are looking at shape and colour through the artists Matisse and Craven.

Christian Robinson is Year 4’s artist. He uses collage in his artwork.

Year 5 are drawing self-portraits.

Year 6’s artist is Van Gogh.

 

Why not ask your child what they have been learning in art - maybe they could show you one of the techniques they have learned!

Elmer is a fantastic book for children in Reception or year 1. This book tells the story of an elephant who wonders what it would be like to be grey like everyone else.
