Festivals of colour and gratitude Year 2
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!
















Year One – Bears, Bears everywhere!
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?
