Year 6 are enjoying their exploration of pop art

 In our art topic of Cityscapes, we've been looking at artists from the pop art movement.  Andy Warhol was famous for creating repeated images of celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe as well everyday objects such as soup cans. Often his work was brightly coloured and unrealistic.  This art came after WW2. Everybody wanted colour, change and a brighter future . This art was mass produced so was inexpensive.

We have taken the idea of Andy Warhol and created our own artwork. We hope you like them.

Science fact files- Year 2

 Year 2 triorama for Science. 

Year 2 have been learning about habitats in science and this week they explored ocean habitats and what animals use plants for in the ocean . They researched two animals that live in the sea; sea turtles and pufferfish. To display this information Year 2 made triorama with visual and written information. They had a wonderful time making them! 

Nursery - Body Percussion

 In nursery, children have been working hard on their Phase 1 phonics.

They have been listening to songs, finding the rhythm and playing along using their body; i.e. tapping, clapping, stomping and using their voices in some cases.

The children were very good at finding the rhythm and continue to build strong foundations for early literacy.

Year 2 Great Fire of London walk

Yesterday, the entire cohort of Year 2 went for a trip into town! following their investigation into the causes and effects of the Great Fire of London, it was time to visit the real locations. We took the Central Line to St Paul's Cathedral, pausing to admire the work of architect Sir Christopher Wren, who designed the cathedral and much of London after the fire, before crossing over to Bankside and take in some culture at the Tate Modern while we ate our lunch. We saw so many sights on our walk to our final destination of the Monument, where we all gathered together to sing London's Burning and admire more of Wren's architecture. We had a fantastic day and would like to thank all of the volunteers who joined us and made it possible!

4 Ennis Art

 In our latest article lesson we have been studying Howard Hodgkin. He is a British artist who was born in1932. He paints shapes in bright colours to produce abstract works of art. We tried to copy some of his work and ideas by painting either hot or cold colours and creating an abstract piece.  Here are some of the results.

Whatever Next!

As part of our topic, we have been reading Whatever Next! by Jill Murphy.

The children enjoyed drama activities, such as Hot Seating and Role Play.

While Hot Seating, the children used mobile phones to ask Baby Bear some questions about his journey to the moon. Of course, Baby Bear kept his helmet on during the session.

The children loved being in the Role Play and Book Corner acting out Baby Bear's adventures to the moon.
