Year 2 and 2/3 Art Galleries

I had the pleasure of viewing the wonderful artwork on display in the Year 2/3J, 2M and 2N Art Galleries yesterday. Over the course of the term, students have learnt about various painting styles and the artists associated with them - from Matisse to Picasso. The children then created their own art in the style of the artists they had studied. The slideshow below shows some of the wonderful art on display. Well done, Year 2 and 3!

Year 4 Novel Study

Year 4 students have been reading the novel The Burnt Stick by Anthony Hill and have completed a number of activities based on the novel. Students were asked to complete a task of their own choice to present to the class. Adam and Evie in 4M both created dioramas of scenes from the novel - Adam reconstructed Dryborough Station and Evie reconstructed Pearl Bay Mission. Other children did oral presentations. What great work! Below are just a couple of examples of the wonderful reading response activities completed by the children - well done, all!

Year 5 Poetry

Take a look at this great poem written by Luke in 5N. The year 5 students have been looking at poetic devices and Luke has used imagery very well in his poem The Firefighter.
Firefighter
His face is fire
His smile is flowing water
His hands are rubber
His arms are hoses
His legs are spaghetti
His fingers are wood
His heart is steel
His stare is a dark wind
His voice is a massive echo
His laugh is a bee.
