We have finally started to use oil pastels on our portraits (that are in the style of Picasso). Take a look at our progress below.

Using different medias
Our next step in our art week was to look at the different techniques and medias Picasso used. We took four different images of the ‘Weeping Woman’ (which is one of Picasso’s famous paintings) and used a different media to complete each one. The medias we looked at were:
- Chalk Pastels
- Oil Pastels
- Colouring Pencils
- Paint
We then discussed which we thought was the most effective and why.
Art Week – Picasso
We have been looking at the Spanish artist Picasso all week. We have looked at his life and some of his famous paintings. Next week, we will be recreating some of his famous paintings and even using his style of cubism.
We started off our first lesson with evaluating some of Picasso’s existing work looking at colours, proportion of features and style.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
This will be our final blog post of 2021! This is a snapshot of our amazing final week with all things Christmas! You will see our performance of Underneath the Tree as well as activities from throughout the week. There aren’t many pictures of the disco as I (Mr Bennett) was too busy being the dj!
Merry Music Christmas!
Below you will find videos of the class performing two different versions of Jingle Bells. Throughout this half term, we have been perfecting our playing of these songs. Some of us even played it without music! We hope you enjoy!
Our Animated Christmas Cards
In our computing lessons, we have been coding and creating our very own animated Christmas cards. Take a look at some below!
How our music lessons are going… JINGLE BELLS
Take a listen below at us playing Jingle Bells during our brass lesson with Mr Dodd.
Multiplication and Division
Over the past couple of weeks, we have been looking at multiplication and division. In class, we have been introduced to lots of new vocabulary such as:
- Multiple
- Factor
- Factor Paris
- Product
- Squared
- Square Number
- Prime Number
- Cubed
We now know the meaning of these words. During these sessions, we have used counters to discover whether a number is prime, what its factor pairs are and if the number is a square number (if it is then you can make a square array!)
Our War Paintings
Take a look below at our wonderful war paintings. We used water colours for the background and then used card for the images on the front. They have turned out so beautifully!
