Year 6 were asked to create a piece of art to symbolise Good Friday.  They were allowed to select their own media for the lesson.  Some chose watercolours, others oil pastel and some chose to simple sketch.  Each one was created  carefully and thoughtfully.

ABOUT ASIAN MONKEYS

MONKEYS like macaques and snub nosed monkeys that are found in ASIA and Africa are called Old World monkeys, which are different from the monkeys found in other areas of the world. The main defining feature of Old World monkeys are their flat noses. Most Asian monkeys have tails, but they are not prehensile, like other monkeys, meaning that they aren’t able to hold objects or climb with them.

All our monkeys were created using collage, which was challenging becuase every small detail had to be cut out of paper or card – even the white reflection on the eyes.  However Year 6 rose to the challenge and the hard work paid off, as you can see.

KOI are brightly coloured, ornamental fish that are from of the carp family, which is a large group of fish originally found in Central Europe and ASIA. The colourful variety originated in JAPAN. Koi are typically kept for decorative purposes in outdoor ponds and water gardens. There are many different varieties of koi, some of which are white, black, red, orange and yellow. While a goldfish and a koi fish can look similar, koi have whisker-like feelers called BARBELS that are actually sensory organs near their mouths.

Reception children have been thinking about ways in which they can show love to one another, around the school and to our families and friends. We read the scripture from the bible which says, ‘Do everything in Love’ 1 Corinthians 

The children then used watercolours to create these beautiful hearts. Wow! They are simply stunning.

Creating a tiny ice skater that can magnetically skate around on a pond made this lesson seem magical. Our chidren created a wintery frozen pond diorama with a sense of space and fluffy snow texture, then drew their own miniature ice skater. Finally, a paperclip and magnet teamed up to give this kinetic art lesson movement.

The children did an amazing job and concentrated throughout the whole lesson – well done Year 5!
