As is tradition, Toucan Clas spent their first full Computing Lesson of the year painting Toucans! They’re displayed below, and for a while on the outside screen. Watch out for more computer art from the class over the coming weeks.

Last week Year 1 did grapheme washing, and then created them using natural objects! Later they explored art techniques to create animal rainbow pictures.
Gecko Class have been exploring Australian Aboriginal art and the different techniques used to create effects. We are using block colour in our pictures.
And then came the oceans… Following on from the making of the globes (which you can see pictures of here) Toucan Class have today painted on the water. More to follow…
Toucan Class spent a day designing, making and evaluating moving pictures. They had to follow a design criteria carefully to design a moving picture and then make their design. Their final products were brilliant!
Y4 have been using Google Drawings to create Warholesque images of themselves… They had to create at least three different versions of their faces using the formatting options available to them, and then move and crop the images to make them into a neat block. I’m really pleased with how […]
Year 1 are learning about the United Kingdom and symbols, so of course we have been finding out about the Union Flag. Yesterday, using 2Paint in Purple Mash, the children painted copies of the UK’s flag. It’s not an easy flag to replicate, and it’s made even trickier when you’re […]

The children in Year 4 have created these Christmassy images for you using 2Paint-A-Picture in Purple Mash.
Even though all the children in Gecko Class worked with me on laptops and with BeeBots when they were in Giraffes, it’s still a steep learning curve at the beginning of Year 1. Logging in and accessing websites such as Purple Mash & Sumdog by themselves is a big ask, […]
Year 4 have been creating graphics using Google Drawings, and Year 5 are about to start creating stop frame animations, so to mark Bonfire Night, here are some fireworks pictures by Jaguar Class & some firework animations (put together as a video) by Panther Class.
Year 3 have spent the afternoon exploring ‘Holy Trinity Caves’. They have recreated artwork formed by Neolithic people during the early Stone Age.
As has become something of a tradition, the first task set for Toucan Class was to paint a picture of a toucan using 2Paint-A-Picture and save it correctly. Here are their brilliant creations!
At the beginning of their Ancient Greeks topic Year 5 created individual web pages to store their work, before learning about and painting plates in the style of the time. They tried using a different grip on their paintbrushes to help with precision. It wasn’t easy, but they took their […]
The members of Digital Photography Club have taken hundreds and hundreds of photos this term. During the sessions they have been given themes such as depth of field, portraits, movement, closeups, reflection, and unusual viewpoints, which have been bookmarked by a couple of weeks when they could roam the school and […]

Year 5 have been manipulating images this term. Last week they used the filter tools in Google Photos to create different versions of their portraits to express specific moods.
Back in 2014 the then Year 6s created composite images of faces using photographs of themselves. This term Years 5 & 6 have done the same, this time using Google Drawing, part of G Suite for Education (and free to use). As before, no two pieces from the same person […]
Toucan Class have painted these fantastic toucans in Purple Mash, and then saved them to their work folder independently.
During a varied day, Panther Class have been busy making their Anglo Saxon brooches out of clay and getting to grips with long multiplication!
This year the children in Year 5 have kept a small diary. Each Monday they write a few thoughts on the previous weekend both as a reminder of what they have done and as some writing practice. This morning things were a little different. I challenged them to create a […]
As part of their study of ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom’ by Michael Morpurgo the Year 5s have been trying to imagine the lives of Kensuke & Michael on the island and how the characters would have felt. One of the things that creates a great bond between the two of them is […]
