Beech Class made figures representing Ancient Greek Olympians. First of all, we made wire figures using the proportions of the human body. We then made a base out of clay. After that, we covered our model with Modroc. When it was dry, we painted it with bronze paint so it looks like a bronze sculpture.
KS2 did a wonderful production of Snow White for their Christmas production. We are all so proud of them! Thank you so much to all the parents/carers for helping your children to learn their lines/ song lyrics and providing costumes. We really do appreciate all of your support!
Beech Class made clay pots in the style of Ancient Greek pots. We studied different types of Greek pots and their purposes. We designed our pots and the illustrations on them. We made our pots using the coil pot technique. When they were dry, we used fine brushes and black acrylic paint to paint our designs. We used illustrations of Ancient Greek pots as inspiration for our designs.
All the classes have taken part in an Elf Run today for St John’s Hospice. Thank you to everyone for their donations! Here are a few photos from Beech’s Elf Run.
We all had a wonderful Halloween, dressing up as lots of different characters as well as having our movie night. Thank you so much to the PTA for organising and carrying out such a brilliant evening!
In Beech Class we painted our own Greek pots. We learned about different Greek pots and what they were used for. We chose a design for our pot and then decorated it with typical images and patterns from Ancient Greece including scenes from daily life, myths and legends, Olympics and battles. We painted these pots in preparation for making our own Greek pots out of clay.
Beech Class had a great time visiting the Walker Art Gallery and World Museum in Liverpool learning all about Ancient Greece. They also now have a claim to fame after being joined by Johnny Vegas who knew a surprising amount about Ancient Greece!
The children from Sycamore and Beech Classes worked with comic book illustrator Kev Sutherland to create their own comic strip. They learned techniques around how to tell a story through illustrations, how to give depth to their drawings and how to depict the key information through drawings and speech bubbles.
