Saif Ali has shown a great determination with his art work within our South Africa topic, and has shown commitment to his learning by continuing to work on his piece of art even when we kept asking him to have breaks! He used a print technique to create a colourful African design with paint and also used a range of tools to sculpt his own African tile from clay. Well done Saif Ali and keep it up we are really proud of your hard work!

Lucy has worked incredibly hard on her art throughout the year, however she has demonstrated her creative flair wonderfully with our most recent art, design and technology topic making her own Ferris wheel. She has learnt all about an axel and a moving wheel and how they work well together.

Keep it up Lucy well done!

Rayyan has recently amazed me with an incredible piece of artwork inspired by our learning about The Wild Robot. His drawing of Roz was so impressive that it genuinely took my breath away! The care, imagination, and attention to detail he put into his work were outstanding, and it perfectly captured the character and spirit of the story. What makes Rayyan's artwork so special is the thought and creativity he brings to every piece. He is always willing to challenge himself and takes great pride in producing work of the highest standard. His talent shines through in the way he observes, creates, and expresses his ideas on paper.

Rumaisa brings a really strong piece of her own individuality to every project and clearly enjoys the process of making and developing ideas. It is lovely to see how willing she is to produce pieces that feel personal and thoughtful, rather than rushing to a quick finish. One of Rumaisa’s real strengths is the care she takes with her work. She is happy to spend time refining details and this helps her create outcomes that are considered and expressive. Her growing confidence in following her own artistic instincts is especially pleasing.

Hafsah is a brilliant artist and goes above and beyond in any lesson where we do anything creative. She always produces wild and colourful work, and I love seeing her bold choices and beautiful artwork. She has also done some great work on our topics this year outside of school - my Wow Work wall is full of her great drawings.

Zayn loves art and when we do lessons where he gets the chance to be creative he really shows how detailed and careful he can be when drawing in particular. His attention to detail really shines here and it is great to see him really throw himself into any work where he can draw or design.
