Sidegate Snapshot 20

A little sneaky peek of the art galleries across the school ready for this afternoon's exhibitions, where parents are welcome to come into school and view their children's artwork.

Art Galleries open at 3:25pm. Please enter via the KS2 Playground. Gallery viewing will end at 4:15pm, and families should exit via the KS1 white doors.

Day 5 of Arts Week has seen Reception and Year 2 playing the djembes with Mrs Mann.

Arts Week update for Day 5 from Year 6:
To celebrate that local artist John Constable would have been 250 this year, the whole school are taking part in Constable inspired cloudscapes across the week. Here the children will learn that skies are not just made of blue sky and white clouds and that there are other colours too.

Day 5 of Arts Week:
This morning, in Year 4 and Year 5, the children completed the ripped art and landscape collages, our other whole school art project. With this task, the children had to cover the paper with pastels and then rip the paper to create their collage. Each piece of ripped paper was blended using pastels and then the collage created.

A late update from Day 2 of Arts Week.
We had the amazing story teller, Justine, come in and work with our children in Harriers, Year 2 and Year 3. She worked with the children to create some super stories, using their imagination and oracy skills.

On Friday 12th June, some of Year 5 went to Sutton Hoo. The trip was to support their learning on the history topic about Anglo-Saxons. The children had been learning about the discovery of the Anglo-Saxon longboat and some of the finds. This helped to bring the learning in school to life. And the weather stayed nice!

For Arts week, Mrs Bloomfield has been showing Year 5 how to make beaded keyrings. The children were able to design and make their keyrings using waxed cord, pony beads and letter beads.

Day 4 of Arts Week
Year 6 had drama workshop with Grace Welfare from the Actors Training Academy on Thursday. As is usual for Grace, she got the children doing things they could not have imagined they would do!

Arts Week update from reception.
In reception, the children have also been doing the whole school John Constable skyscapes. As the children are so little, they produced a large skyscape, following Constable's inspiration.
