Art Challenge: The Great Getaway! TRANSPORT
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.
Please email your artwork to me:

Thank you
Keep creating and keep safe!

Sweet shop and Habitats!
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!
Feast Days Art Gallery
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!
Art Challenge Feast Days
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 19th June is the Feast of the Sacred Heart and 29th 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:

Thank you.
Take a look at a book, poem or rhyme: Art Gallery
Mostyn (Year 3) has done this awesome picture of Captain Underpants, which is his favourite book. His drawings have really improved over the weeks and this is no exception! Bravo Mostyn!
Just look at this magnificent map that Humphrey (Year 1) created, which shows the journey the Stickman took throughout the book. I particularly like the image of the Stickman being chased bu the dog and the one where he is floating in the river. Amazing artwork Humphrey, as always, and thanks for sharing!
Wow! Look at this incredible Incy Wincy Spider that Amelia (Year 1) has created. What makes this all the more impressive was that Amelia did this ALL BY HERSELF WITH NO HELP. Bravo Amelia and thank you for sharing this with us!
I am really impressed with this amazing puppet that Alfie (Year 5) has made, based on the Fortnite games and books. It is clear that he has really taken his time to carefully draw and colour the character. Well done Alfie and thanks for sharing!
These sisters always produce outstanding art work week after week and this time is definitely no exception as these crafts are terrific! Eva (Year 5) has drawn and coloured this fabulous cartoon ‘Harry Potte’r and also made Hermione Granger cardboard roll figure. Both are brilliant Eva – thanks for sharing!…
…Eva’s sister Emma (Year 4) put a great deal of time and effort creating Eva the Owl, from the book Owl Diaries, which is written and illustrated by Rebecca Elliott. As you can see, Emma carefully made the owl out of clay before diligently painting it with lots of bright, vibrant colours. Bravo Emma and thank you so much for sharing this with us!
This sensational pirate ship and seascape has been created by Lola (Year 3). She always puts a great deal of effort into her art projects and has really excelled this week. This is what she wrote: Hi Mrs Pearson this is my art work for this week I have watched all of the Pirates of the Caribbean and wanted to make a pirate boat myself.I did it using an old shoe box and then painted it pink, then my dad found a pole in the garage. He chopped it in half and put a hole in the boat and stuck it through. Then we found fabric and folded it up, and we put a bit of string through it and put a screw in the pole and tied the string round it. Next we made a steering wheel and put ribbons under it to make the sea and put Katirina on the boat and placed the mermaids and the shells around it. Fantastic work Lola and thank you so much for sharing this with us!
This fabulous drawing of Lucy Pevensie is from the Chronicles of Narnia books and has been drawn by Sabrina (Year 5). Well done Sabrina and thanks for sharing!
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!

Art challenge…Look at a book…or a poem..or rhyme!
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….

Art Gallery by Louis Year 5
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.
Read all about it! Art Gallery
Wow! This a an absolute MASTERPIECE! Lola (Year 3) has done an amazing job, as it looks simply stunning. This is what her mum wrote: “She has used her own magazines to cut out some ‘word art’ to form the statement ‘Art is Amazing, by Lola’. She has then added pictures from the magazines showing some of her favourite animals, celebrities and fruit! Finally, the background has been coloured in to form a rainbow!” Thank you so much for sharing this with us Lola!
These spectacular butterflies have been carefully made by Florence (Year R) and she has done a fab job because I think they look amazing. This is what Florence said: ” Mum & I looked for ideas to make with paper & came across a video to make these butterflies. I picked some colourful pages from last week’s radio times to make them.” Thanks for sharing them with us Florence!
Wow! Just look at this! Amelia (Year 1) did a brilliant paper mache balloon Her mum says, “She was amazed that when it dried and she popped the balloon the newspaper stayed in shape. She made her own paper mache paste from flour and water as we had none at home..” Another new skill you have learnt Amelia…Well done to you and mummy and thanks for sharing!
Oh my goodness! Just look at this truly stunning hat that Alana (Year 4) has made completely out of newspaper! Alana skillfully moulded the newspaper into shape and then she got to use her water mixable oil colours so she developed the new skill of mixing the paint correctly to get the right consistency. Amazing results Alana! It is just a shame that Ascot is cancelled this year as it would look fabulous there…maybe next year! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Denzel has been busy creating at home and he learned to make these brilliant boast with old calendar and I think that they are superb. He is now waiting for it tos stop raining so that he can go outside and play with them! Fantastic work Denzel and thanks for sharing them!
What a beautiful flower that Emma (Year 4) has mad, using newspaper. Equally beautiful is the message ‘HOPE’ that goes with it. Thank you for sharing this with us Emma.
I love these ‘cute’ newspaper ghosts that Eva (Year 5) has made. Thanks for sharing them Eva!
Wow! I think that this newspaper picture by Calin (Year 4) is simply stunning! I know it has taken him a great deal of time and effort to create this ‘masterpiece’, but I’m so glad he did because the end result is just brilliant. Thank you so much, Calin, for sharing this with us!
Goodness me! What a fantastic array of zoo animals that Tommy (Year 4) and Chloe (Year 2) have made. It must have taken a great deal of time and patience to carefully cut them all out. Well done – and thank you for sharing!
This stunning newspaper picture has been created by Emily (Year 5). I absolutely love her use of translucent paint to add a beautiful sheen to her picture. Bravo Emily and thanks for sharing!
Wow! Wow! Wow! I am totally blown away by this amazing newspaper picture that Johan (Year 3) has created…it truly is a Work of Art! Everything from the tree, to the flowers and the sky are just fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing this with us Johan – I’m sure that you will inspire others to have a go!
Art Gallery Week Beginning 09/06/20
Wow! Just look at these terrific t-shirts! Aurora (Year 4) and Raffaella (Year 1) have used fabric dye pastels to create an Hawaiian design on t-shirts. The sisters really enjoyed making these and I think they are real ‘works of art’! Bravo girls and thanks for sharing!
Phoebe (Year 3) has done a stunning job making this magnificent mansion! I think Phoebe could definitely have a career as an architect or interior designer. Well done Phoebe and thank you for sharing this with us!
Wow! Just have a look at this totally adorable fairy that Eva (Year 2) has carefully made out of crepe paper and pipe cleaners. I think it looks absolutely stunning! Thank you so much for sharing this with us Eva!
Goodness me! Look at this amazing Lava Lamp that Cian has made for his STEM task this week He made it by using some oil & water, then placing a few drops off food colouring into it. Finally he placed a Alkaline-Seltzer tablet into the glass. The end result looks spectacular. Thanks for sharing this with us Cian.
Wow! Just take a look at these incredible insects that Christina (Year R) has created. These insects have taken Christina a long time to make them. First she carefully moulded them into shape and once they had hardened she carefully coloured her insects in. I know they took Christina a long time, but the effort was well worth it because they are totally amazing! The insects are now dry and ready to go on her shelf at her room… I bet they will look awesome in there. Well done Christina and thank you so much for sharing them with us.
Look at this terrific party blower that Humphrey (Year 1) has made for his art project this week. I wonder if he can play any tunes with it, or if he can use it to wake up his family first thing in the morning! Thanks for sharing this with us Humphrey.
The children from Starfish class listened to a story all about feelings. They then drew an animal linked to how they felt. Christina drew a parrot because she loves colours and adventure and Noah drew a giraffe because he was feeling tall!
How are you feeling?
