Art Week

To start our Year 4 journey, we began with our Art Week Project.

This year we made some clay tiles that were focussed on the Rainforest topic.

The skills that we developed were colour mixing and sculpting techniques. We also looked at some famous sculptures, such as Madam Tussauds, which helped to inspire our designs.

Skateboarding Workshop

We were given the opportunity to participate in a skateboarding workshop.

We practised some skills that we learnt last year and then we learnt some new skills and tricks.

We worked in teams to help and support each other.

Digestive System

In our Science lesson we had great fun learning how the digestive system works by making our own "poo"!

We used food, bags and tights to show how the body breaks food down - from chewing in the mouth to churning in the stomach and squeezing through the inestines.

I was messy, funny and helped us see exactly how our bodies turn food into waste!

Arcimboldo

In this fun and creative activity we explored the quirky world of Giuseppe Arcimboldo, the 16th Century artist famous for his portraits made entirely of food, flowers and other natural objects.

Inspired by his unique style, we created our own "food portraits", using fruits, vegetables and other materials. It was a hands-on way to explore water colour art and learn the skills needed to paint realistic fruits, and let our imaginations run wild while learning about this one-of-a-kind artist!
