Year 4 visit the Art Gallery

Our Art topic this term is portraits, so Year 4 decided to go and view a selection of original paintings and sculptures at the Art Gallery in Southampton. In addition to studying and making observational drawings of artwork in both traditional and modern styles, the class enjoyed a workshop session. They learnt how to draw a face with features correctly proportioned. Then using just one length of wire, they bent the wire following the outline of their drawings to create a 3D wire sculpture. Facial features were added with pipe cleaners, beads and ribbon. The finished sculptures look amazing!

 

A visit from Zoo Lab!

 Zoo Lab came to Bitterne Manor today! The children loved seeing the minibeasts, including a giant snail, snake, centipede, frog, cockroach and even a tarantula! We found out lots of interesting facts and also had the chance to hold most of the minibeasts! 

Year R have fun at Hawthorns!

Year R enjoyed a sunny day at Hawthorns learning lots of facts about minibeasts! We played lots of fun games, including becoming squirrels and hiding our food, becoming birds and searching for caterpillars and putting on blind folds and becoming a giant centipede! Well done Year R!
