I love to see creativity continuing beyond my art lessons, and the artwork you create at home always impresses and inspires me! This page celebrates some of the wonderful artwork our children have created at home in their own time.

Whether it is visiting an art gallery, drawing, painting, collage, model-making, crafting or simply experimenting with new ideas, every piece shows imagination, creativity and a love of art. It is always a pleasure to see children feeling inspired to create outside their art lessons.

This page is dedicated to sharing examples of our children’s home learning and I will endeavour to showcase as many examples as possible, but apologies that I can’t show them all! Mrs Pearson.

Buildings tell us about people, places and time. We are investigate Greek columns and discovering how contemporary architects transform classical ideas. The children have been drawing the Classic Greek columns and comparing and contrasting the Parthenon with the British Museum. As you can see, they have made a great start!

Moving Stick People – Year 3’s Musical Drawing Challenge!

Our enthusiastic Year 3 artists had great fun exploring movement in art as part of their learning about prehistoric cave paintings!

Inspired by the simple human figures found in ancient cave art, the children took part in an exciting game of Musical Drawing! Stick people appeared on the board in different dancing poses while the music played. When the music stopped, the children had to quickly draw the stick person they could see, capturing its position and movement.

This fun activity helped the children develop their observational drawing skills, understand how simple lines can show movement and appreciate how people have represented the human figure in art for thousands of years.

We are so proud of their fantastic efforts!

Pumpkins Four Ways – Year 2’s Autumn Artwork! 🍂🎨

Our creative Year 2 artists have been exploring pumpkins in four different ways, developing their drawing skills and experimenting with oil pastels and chalk pastels!

The children began by looking carefully at real pumpkins, studying their shapes, colours and textures. They then challenged themselves to create four different drawings: a continuous line drawing, an observational drawing, a bird’s-eye view looking down onto a pumpkin, and a slice of pumpkin showing the fascinating shapes and details inside.

Using oil pastels and chalk pastels, the children explored blending, layering and adding colour to bring their pumpkin drawings to life.

This activity encouraged the children to look closely, draw from different perspectives and develop confidence in using different artistic techniques.

We are so proud of their fabulous pumpkin creations and the wonderful variety of artwork they produced!

Beautiful Bears – Year 1’s Colour Mixing Creations! 🎨

Our talented Year 1 artists have been busy exploring the wonderful world of colour mixing!

The children began by experimenting with the three primary colours – red, yellow and blue – discovering how to mix them to create the secondary colours of orange, green and purple.

They then explored how to mix different shades of brown, adding white to create lighter tints and black to make darker shades. Using their newly discovered colour mixing skills, the children carefully painted their very own bears, inspired by the much-loved character Old Bear from the stories by Jane Hissey.

This activity helped the children develop their painting techniques, understand colour mixing and gain confidence in experimenting with paint.

We are so proud of their beautiful bears and the fantastic range of colours they created!

Perfect Pumpkins – Reception’s Autumn Artwork! 🍂

Our wonderful Reception children have been getting creative with pumpkins, inspired by the delightful story Pumpkin Soup by Helen Cooper.

The children enjoyed looking closely at real pumpkins, noticing their different shapes, colours and textures. Using oil pastels and crayons, they created their own observational drawings, carefully adding lines, patterns and beautiful autumnal colours.

This activity helped our youngest artists develop their observational drawing skills, explore different art materials and build confidence in their creativity.

We are so proud of their fantastic pumpkin masterpieces!

Autumn Trees – Reception’s Colourful Creations!

Our talented Reception children have been exploring the beautiful colours of autumn through painting!

Using cotton buds dipped in paint, the children carefully created their own autumn trees, adding colourful leaves in shades of red, orange, yellow and brown. They enjoyed experimenting with a new painting technique, developing their fine motor skills and learning how small dots of colour can create wonderful effects.

We are so proud of our youngest artists and their fabulous autumn creations!
