Year 5 have completed a half term’s work on cartoon drawing with a grand finale called “Girl with the wind in her hair”. They have been practising drawing cartoon characters with different facial expressions, animals, robots, aliens and pets. Over the past few weeks, the children have grown in confidence both in what skill they have practised but also in inventing their own versions. Today, they have drawn on experience from previous lessons to produce this classic Pete McKee image of a girl on a beach. The lesson was a slight departure from their cartoon drawing as they challenged themselves to a piece of graphic fine art. Below is a photo of just a few of the wonderful artworks from the children, proudly displayed in our temporary classroom.

Part of the Year 3 Rocks and Soils topic took us in the direction of looking at volcanos. During their research they not only created amazingly informative posters, which they presented with growing clarity and confidence – check them out below. They they also built their own erupting volcanoes. Their reactions are priceless. Enjoy watching their videos!

Well done Year 3. You are all volcano experts now!
