Year 6 got creative this week making dragon eyes with Model Magic! They carefully shaped their designs, adding texture and detail to make each one unique. Once the clay had set, they used felt tips to blend amazing colours — from fiery reds to shimmering greens and deep blues.

The results were fantastic — a whole gallery of watchful, magical dragon eyes staring back at us! Well done, Year 6!

This week in Art, Year 3 became mini sculptors! We found out about the artist Alberto Giacometti, who was famous for his tall, thin figures that look like they’re caught mid-movement.

We started by practising with pipe cleaners, bending and twisting them into different action poses. Some were doing handstands, others were running, sitting, or even scoring a winning goal!

Once we’d mastered our poses, we created our final sculptures using tin foil. It was amazing to see how a simple material could turn into such expressive figures! Our classroom soon filled with shiny people frozen in action — just like real Giacometti artworks.

Everyone showed fantastic creativity and concentration. Well done, Year 3 — your sculptures are absolutely brilliant!

Mrs Pearson says:
“I’m so proud of Year 3. You challenged yourselves, worked carefully, and your tin foil figures are full of energy and personality. What a super gallery of shiny sculptures!”

To celebrate Diwali, the Festival of Lights, our Year 2 children explored the meaning and traditions of this special festival, which is celebrated by millions of people around the world.

The children learned that Diwali is a time for joy, light, and togetherness. Families decorate their homes with diyas — small oil lamps — to symbolise the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil.

Using their colouring and collage skills, the children designed and decorated their own beautiful Diya lamps. They experimented with bright colours, tissue paper, sequins, and patterns, creating artwork that reflects the vibrancy and excitement of Diwali celebrations.

Each Diya is unique, just like the children who made them — together they create a glowing display of creativity, happiness, and learning.

✨ Happy Diwali!✨

This year Diwali starts on 21^st Oct 2025 and lasts for 5 days

Harvest Festival Art: Fruit and Pumpkin Creations

To celebrate the Harvest Festival, our Year Two children created stunning artworks inspired by Helen Cooper’s book Pumpkin Soup and the fruit paintings of artist Dennis Wojtkiewicz.

They drew pumpkins, kiwifruits, and watermelon slices, using chalk and oil pastels to explore colour blending, shading, and texture. The children worked carefully to capture the rich tones and natural beauty of harvest produce.

Their vibrant creations are a joyful celebration of autumn, creativity, and thankfulness. I’m so proud of their wonderful work!

Our Old Bear Creations

Inspired by Jane Hissey’s beloved Old Bear stories, our Year One children designed and painted their very own bears! They carefully used paint and experimented with adding darker tones to create realistic fur textures.

Each bear has its own personality and charm — just like the characters from the stories. I’m so proud of the children’s creativity, care, and attention to detail in their beautiful artwork!

Can you spot the bear trying to escape from the display?

One ‘cheeky’ bear even got themselves put on to Mr Crozier’s ‘Celebrating Success’ board!

Which bear is your favourite? It’s hard to choose, isn’t it?
