Well, not only does this pirate ship and treasure chest picture look amazing. but it actually moves!  The ships sails across the ocean to reach the treasure.  The artist is Islwyn (Year 6), who is a regular contributor to the Art Blog and this is another stunning piece of art. Brilliant work Islwyn and thank you for sharing this with us.

Wow! What an amazing aeroplane that Calin (Year 4) has drawn.  He has really taken him time and added lots of detail.  Top job Calin and thanks for sharing!

Wow!  What a totally amazing boat that Phoebe (Year 3) has made.  I love the sea colours that she has chosen to decorate it with.  Bravo Phoebe and thank you for sharing this with us!

Every week these brothers do the Art Challenge and each week they blow me away with their creativity.  This week they decide to use LEGO and create vehicles that go on land, sea and in the sky.  Here is Kian (Year 6) with a brilliant boat, which he has carefully made with lots of added features….

Next is this amazing hot air balloon by Conor (Year 4), complete with the basket to carry the passengers….

Last and by no means least is Dillon (Year 1) who has made this terrific truck, with wonderful wheels and windows.  Well done boys and thank you so much for always rising to the Art challenges!

Oliver (Year 5) and Tommy (Year 4) have created a wonderful array of vehicles, using LEGO and I think they look fantastic.  Well done boys and thanks for sharing!

Goodness me Eva (Year 5)  never fails to amaze me with her amazing artwork and as you can see, she has done it again with these fantastic drawings of a bus and car. What a talented artist – thanks for sharing Eva!

Wow! Another outstanding piece of artwork by Emma (Year 4).  This week she has created this amazing 3D car.  I think it looks truly spectacular….I would like a car just like this! Thank you so much for sharing this with us Emma. Both sisters were ‘helped’ by Honey their cute cockatiel.  I think these photos  with Honey perched on their heads are just brilliant…it looks like a hat that I would wear to Ascot!

Sabrina (Year 5) has done a splendid job creating this spectacular home on Minecraft.  Well done Sabrina and thanks for sharing!

What an absolutely amazing travelling circus that Emi (Year 4) has created.  I know it took her a great deal of effort, but I’m so glad she persevered because the end result is astounding! Fantastic work Emi and thank you for sharing this with us.

I’m so impressed with this brilliant bicycle that Humphrey (Year 1) has drawn. He has really taken his time and added a lot of detail.  Well done Humphrey and thanks for sharing!

Wow! Wow! Wow! This is an edible ‘work of art’!  I am writing this before eating my dinner and my mouth is watering and my tummy is rumbling! Olivia (Year 4) has made this spectacular London bus cake and it looks totally awesome! This is what her mum wrote: ” We used lots of different sweets to decorate the bus including – Smarties for headlights, chocolate buttons for people, Oreo cookies for the wheels, White milky bar for the windows and cola laces. We had a lot of fun creating this and lots of left over sweets to eat 😀
Now we need to try the cake ”   What a talented baker…I’m sure we may see Olivia on Great British Bake Off in the future!  I’m just disappointed that I can’t sample this delicious looking cake!  Thank you so much for sharing this with us Olivia!

This fantastic bus has been drawn by Brayden (Year 4). What a wonderful job he has done and I particularly like the way he has carefully added the wheels and doors.  Bravo Brayden and thanks for sharing.

This is splendid! Mostyn (Year 3) has done every Art challenge and completed them to a high standard and this one is no exception. He decided to make a moving picture with a pirate theme! The pirate boat sails across the ocean! What an inspiring idea Mostyn – I’m sure this will encourage others to have a go.  Thank you for sharing this with us.

Goodness me!  Look at another creation by the amazing Alana (Year 4).  This time she has gone all out and created this brilliant London bus, complete with wheels and windows. Just imagine all the sights you could see travelling around London on a bus like this.  Spectacular work, as always, Alana – thanks for sharing!

This bicycle is simply stunning! Emily (Year 5) has done an amazing job of making and constructing this bike.  As you can see, she has taken a great deal of time and patience to make and the assemble each part of the bike.  I also love the colours that she has chosen for her background.  Bravo Emily and thanks for sharing!

Wow! William (Year 3) has done a truly spectacular job in drawing of his favourite car, an AUDI R8.  As you can see, he has put a lot of detail into it and it is one of my favourite colours for a car.  Wonderful work William…thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Oh my goodness!  This surfer’s van, complete with a surfboard on the roof, is amazing. It is clear that George (Year 3) has spent a long time creating it as it looks sensational!  Brilliant work George and thanks for sharing!

We started our space topic this week by getting creative and making a night sky, that we will add to during the topic.  As you can see, we had great fun using silver and gold paint and GLITTER to make the sky at night!

We put our night sky on our Learning Journey board and added  space themed crafts that we made during discovery time.

There are rockets made from 3D shapes, such as cylinders and cones.

We made 5 little men in fantastic flying saucers, using pipe cleaners and tin foil.

We listen to a story about how colours can show our emotion and then we made our own ‘Emotion Aliens’. The Yellow alien shows happiness, while the pink alien shows love.  Thankfully no one made a blue Alien which shows sadness.

I do hope you are all managing to have FUN IN THE SUN while staying safe!

It has been a busy week for me.  I went on two long walks on Saturday.  The first was along the seafront all the way to Old Portsmouth. It was great to see so many boats and ships on the water and we enjoyed strolling along by the edge of the water.  I did think about swimming but it was far too cold! Later that day I went for another walk.  This time it was all around Langstone and I saw a mummy duck with seven ducklings…they were very cute!

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed art work this week. It was incredible to see all the wonderful things you created to celebrated the Feast Days of The Sacred Heart of Jesus and the upcoming Feast Day of St Peter and St Paul.  I would like to share the art work produced by the MARPLES family:

This is what their mum wrote about it: “We discussed the feast days during June and decided to focus on St.Peter. The boys wanted to do something together and I joined in too. As they are missing school so much they decided to create the school badge. We all did a quarter of the badge each using whatever media we wanted to. We used paint (again, we did not have the colour paint we needed) and mixed red, blue with a little white to get the purple colour. We also used crayons, felt tips and colouring pencils. Everyone chose a different media combination.” Wow! What a talented family and a fitting tribute to St Peter. Well done Kian, Conor and Dillion…oh and of course Mum!

I feel we should congratulate Liverpool on winning the Premier League, but as you know, it is Mr Cunningham’s favourite football team.  I saw this sign and immediate thought of the staff at St Peter’s and all the families…we will hear about this for a long time to come!!

The title for your art this week is The Great Getaway! TRANSPORT.  This can take the form of a drawing, a painting, a sculpture, a collage or anything else that you would like to create. As always, I’m sure you will impress me with your creativity!                                                                                                                     

Here are some ideas:

CHALLENGE:  Design your own vehicle, maybe one that flies and can float on water!

However, if this doesn’t appeal to you then you can still send any other art work to me and I will post that on the Blog too.

This week we turned the Reception area into a sweet shop

Here are some of the staff and customers

The classroom became a sweet factory and new sweets were designed, by our top ‘confectioners’.  Mrs Pearson came up with the ‘great’ idea of vegetable lollipops, such as carrot, beetroot and spinach.  However, the children weren’t too keen on that idea and came up with their own ideas.  Among my favourites were a mermaid ice lolly, a unicorn ice lolly  and a refreshing watermelon and popping candy ice lolly…yum!

Here are a selection of our sweets and lollies.

We have also being learning about habitats.  We read the Gruffalo together and then searched for the right materials to make homes for the mouse, the fox, the owl, the snake and of course the Gruffalo!

This is an amazing piece of art, which has been brilliantly drawn, is by Ryan (Year 3).  It is about Jesus telling Peter to cast his net over the opposite side of the boat and then he gets a net full of fish.  A fitting tribute to our St Peter’s celebration Ryan – thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Wow!  Look at all this fabulous Artwork to celebrate the Feast Days of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and St Peter & St Paul.  Miss Stapley and her children spent a pleasant afternoon making these ‘works of art’.  They have done a splendid job and I look forward to seeing what other art they produce.  Thank you for sharing these with us!

Reception children learnt all about the Feast day of St Peter and that he shares it with St Paul.  They looked at the keys on their uniform and then painted their own…. I have to say, they did a fantastic job!

Goodness me! These fabulous keys are a true ‘work of art’ and I love them! Islwyn (Year 6) and Mostyn (Year 3) have put a great deal of time and effort into creating them…and I’m so glad they did because the end result is simply stunning! The messages, which rhyme,  are so thoughtful as well.  Amazing work boys and thank you so much for sharing them with us!

Wow! Just look at this terrific terracotta plant pot that Louis (Year 5) has carefully painted.  Once he has sealed it, he will put the cactus he has bought in it.  Bravo Louis and thanks for sharing!

Aaron (Year 5) has created this amazing picture.  Can you spot the crosses on his shoulders? Brilliant Aaron – thanks for sharing!

Wow! I just love all the artwork this family produces…and they do something fantastic every week! This creation by Emma (Year 4) is the ‘Key to Heaven’ which is a symbol of St Peter. Look how carefully she has made it – complete with a ruby gemstone at the centre.  Simply stunning Emma! Thank you so much for sharing this with us….

…then Emma’s sister Eva has created this beautiful Sacred Heart of Jesus and selected all her favourite colours while carefully colouring it it.  It looks spectacular Eva – thanks for sharing!

Florence (Year R) has been busy creating again.  This week she has made this fantastic Sacred heart of Jesus, using multi-coloured Pom-poms, which looks totally awesome.  She is going to hang it in her bedroom.

Then Florence made this funky Narwhal card to give to a friend for their birthday. It looks like Florence had a lot of fun creating these – thanks for sharing them with us!

Wow!  The amazing Alana (Year 4) has been hard at work creating again!  This time she has created the Sacred Heart of Jesus, using a mixture of collage and painting.  I think it is truly stunning and a beautiful piece of art.  Thanks for sharing more of your art with us Alana – I’m sure you will continue to inspire others to ‘have a go’!

Just look at this incredible picture that Ben (Year 3) has drawn to celebrating the Feast Day of St Peter and St Paul. I absolutely love the detail he has put into his drawing. Great work Ben and thank you so much for sharing this with us.

Wow!  I think this heart that Emily has created is just beautiful.  As you can see, she has carefully woven it with different shades of pink so that the overall effect is amazing!  Well done Emily and thanks for sharing.

This fantastic piece of art has been created by Oliver (Year 5) and celebrates the life of St Peter.  This is what Tommy  told me: “I enjoyed to make up this art, I searched my house for keys. I found four perfect keys for my work.” I think it looks fab – thanks for sharing this with us!

Tommy (Year 4) has carefully drawn and coloured this brilliant picture, which depicts the life of St Pete,r who is the Patron Saint of Fisherman.  I am very impressed with how well it is drawn.  Bravo Oliver and thank you for sharing!

I hope you have all had a good week – hasn’t the weather been funny? I think we have had all the four seasons in one week! 

The saga of my garden continues…As many of you will know I only started gardening during ‘Lockdown’ and many of you have kindly sent me advice or photos to help me.  I just have to share these photos from the Hirmiz family that have inspired me to keep going:

Aren’t they fabulous! I particularly like the strawberries and that groovy Flamingo! Mrs Hirmiz told me; “The last picture is a plant with pink flowers called Pelargonium graveolens.  This one we used to have in Iraq we put the leaves with tea, it gives a very nice flavour to it.” Now, that does sound delicious! 

I was telling Lillian in Reception all about my garden on Monday and she kindly brought me in 3 tomato plants.

I will keep you up to date with how I get on with them!

Back to business:

Art Challenge Feast Days

We have two important Feast Days in our Church calendar for June.  The 19^th June is the Feast of the Sacred Heart and 29^th June is the Feast Day of St Peter and St Paul.

For your art challenge this week I would you to do a creation linked to either of these Feast Days.   

The Sacred Heart of Jesus is an object of devotion and always falls 19 days after Pentecost.

As you know, St Peter was given the ‘keys to heaven’ by Jesus and was our first Pope and in Matthew Ch16v18 Jesus said ‘And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church.’  He is also the Patron St of fishermen. St Paul changed from not believing in Christianity to spreading the word through the letters that he wrote. Naturally, he is the Patron St of writers.

Ideas to inspire you:

Alternatively, you could do artwork to do with the Patron St that you have been linked to in school (England St George; Scotland St Andrew; Ireland St Patrick: Wales St David), or the Patron St of your home country.

However, if this doesn’t appeal to you, then you can still send any other art work to me and I will post that on the Blog too.

Please email your artwork to me:

n.pearson@stpeterswaterlooville.hants.sch.uk

Goodness me! Look at this wonderful talking witch’s hat, from Harry Potter, that George(Year 3) has made.  It is clear that it has taken him a long time to do, but I’m so glad he persevered because it looks sensational! Bravo George!

Wow! Just look at this marvellous Harry Potter that Pheobe (Year 3) has created.  As you can see, she has done an amazing job and it looks just like Harry himself! Wonderful work Pheobe and thanks for sharing!

I think that this lion that Evan (Year 3) has created it totally awesome!  It is fantastic that he has used leaves to make the mane.  Brilliant work Evan and thanks for sharing!

Wow! Just take a look at this sensational elephant that Liberty (Year 5) has created. What a wonderful choice of colour and pattern.  Well done Liberty and thanks for sharing!

Hello everyone…. thank goodness it’s Friday!…BUT, what has happened to our beautiful sunshine?  I nipped out to the shops this morning and got absolutely soaked. It didn’t help that I had a hole in my boot and so I had a very soggy sock by the time I got home!

However I hear that it will be dry and sunny this weekend, so I’m hoping to get out on my bike again…fingers crossed! 

If you hadn’t noticed, I have some new memojis that my son, Andrew, has created for me, so I am using them all the time at the moment!

Well let’s have a look at this week’s challenge….

It can be a picture using any materials or a 3D creation.  Let your fantastic imaginations go wild!                                                                                                                                                                                                                     WOW!

Here is another fantastic piece of art to add to Louis’s collection!

Wow!Just look at this terrific terracotta plant pot that Louis (Year 5) has carefully painted.  Once he has sealed it, he will put the cactus he has bought in it.  Bravo Louis and thanks for sharing!

Louis (Year 5) has been busy creating wonderful art over the last few weeks.  Unfortunately, there was a mix up with the emails and I have only just received his work.  So have a look at Louis’s Art Gallery:

Wow!  What a wonderful tribute to the NHS that Louis has made.  The message here is so important and his choice of colours are very eye-catching and draws you in.  Well done Louis.

I absolutely love this collage picture of a seahorse that Louis has created.  It is clear that he has taken his time, but it was worth it as the end result is spectacular.

Wow! This model of a WWII plane is amazing and the fact that Louis has combined it with a rainbow makes it very thought provoking.
