Art Attack - Printmaking

These prints were made by children from all year groups. They designed their own underwater scene then printed it onto a collage background. The children also created relief stencils using string which were put together to make a large under the sea print.

Art Attack - Wire Sculpture

Children from across the classes enjoyed making wire underwater creatures and creating their own fish designs from old CDs! They decorated them with buttons, sequins and all things shiny!

Collage workshop

Today, the school was mixed up into groups to take part in different workshops for Art Attack! The collage group worked really hard designing and  creating their pictures from a range of materials including crepe paper, corrugated card and googley eyes!

Bench-tastic!

Thanks to Alresford Interiors (www.alresfordinteriors.co.uk) for creating this amazing Lego themed bench for our learning garden. The bench is dedicated 'In loving memory of our friend Lydia' and will be very much enjoyed by all the children in school. We would like to thank the generous support of our PTA in funding the purchase of the bench.

A Special Day

Our special celebration day in memory of Lydia ended with a dedication by the Rev Andy Smith in our learning garden. Parents and children got the chance to see our new Lego bench (orange was Lydia's favourite colour), the bring a brick school logo (Lydia loved Lego), the broomsticks (she loved 'Room on the Broom' by Julia Donaldson) and all the funky hats and loom bracelets the children had been wearing and making. There will always be a little space at Bitterne Manor that's hers...

Looming Marvellous!!!

The whole school went Loom-atic today and created mile of loom friendship bracelets as part of our special celebration day for Lydia!

Legotastic...!

Thanks for all your donations of Lego bricks. Here's what the team did with them - created our school motto in glorious Lego 3D! We even managed a Lego version of the school badge.
