Through our outdoor learning programme and art time . The children will be exploring woodland animals and their habitat .
Each child will research an animal of their choice .
They will work with clay to recreate a small sculpture of their chosen creature
Kodomo no hi is a Japanese festival celebrated in may . They hang koi carp ( konibori) to symbolise the strength and determination of these fish ( and the people) classes p3-p7 will be creating their own fish to decorate our school and art room in celebration of the children and families determination through present times
P3 looked carefully at vines and plants in the rainforest, how the light gets in from the high canopies and their is darkness lower down . They then created their own habitat background for their parrots . They used oil pastels to shade and highlight the branches to look 3D .
The class then looked carefully at the beautiful colours and feathers of parrots and chose one they would like to try and replicate with coloured pastels .
Great work p3!
P7 looked at aspects of artwork that show perspective . Such as scale, size and position. They took a worms perspective on these snowmen! Next time they will try a birds eye view
