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 […]

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 […]
Years 5-6 have been studying biomes and creating artwork inspired by landscapes. These are the pieces of work Class KH created to represent tropical savanna.
Using Google Draw, Flamingo Class created firework scenes using mathematical characters. To do this they had to create a text box, type in a number or mathematical word, select the text, resize/colour it, change the font, rotate it, and move it to where they wanted it on the page. And […]
Gecko Class are on fire! Today they were using their developing trackpad and keyboard skills to draw a picture of themselves and their favourite place. Again, they all did everything themselves – logging in to the laptop, setting up their Google Cloud printing, logging in to Purple Mash, navigating to […]
Please don’t forget our Roald Dahl Celebration! Just re-create a new and exciting book cover for one of Roald Dahl’s classics! The finished designs will be displayed around the school. All designs should be on A4 paper (ask your teacher or at the office if you need some) and you […]
We all enjoyed exploring painting in the style of Michelangelo, with some Italian music to inspire us.
Apologies for the delay in posting the results of the Digital Photography Competition but here they are with comments from final judge, Michael Murphy, in italics. 1st – Diya. I liked this image for various reasons. Firstly it feels quite claustrophobic and gives me an impression of being trapped due […]
The original plan was to announce the winners of the Digital Photography Competition on Monday 11th January BUT we wanted to present the winners with small prizes and they won’t be available until later in the week. So the winners, which have already been decided, will actually be announced a […]
After Tuesday’s longlist here, in no particular order, are the six photos that the staff voted as their favourites: Semi-Professional photographer Michael Murphy is now considering which of the six photos he feels should be the winner. He has also been impressed with a number of the other images and […]
During the Autumn Term, a number of Year 5/6 pupils took part in Digital Photography Club after school. Each week we looked at something new: picking a subject; framing & cropping; close ups; action & movement; depth; and editing & effects. At the end of the course the children chose […]
