As part of diversity day, year 5 studied the artist Esther Mahlangu. They were most fascinated by the fact that she had painted on a BMW and couldn’t wait to have a go at recreating her work. The children began with using a black pen to outline the patterns they wanted to use and shapes they wanted to include. They then folded their paper to create the traditional shape of a house. Here are some pieces of finished work.
We've had a great start to 2026 in Sapphire Class! I asked children to share their hopes for 2026 and their answers were inspiring. We also finished our science topic of 'forces' by experimenting with Newton meters.
After sketching and resketching our landscape images, today we have added colour. We attempted to create the foreground, middle ground and back depth and used our previous skills of shade to alter our paint tones. We are very pleased we our results.
Have a look at our photos from our trip out to day to Bewdley Museum. We were able to showcase our WWII knowledge, learn some new facts, handle artefacts and try out some gas masks.
