We really enjoyed making our Iron Man pictures for the school art exhibition. If you missed the exhibition you can still buy the pictures for £3 each on Parent Pay.

Year 3 have been having great fun making nets of shapes. We had to cut them out and fold them really carefully

We have been using a variety of different maps to identify countries in the world. We have also found out about different hemispheres and which countries are in which hemisphere.

We have been making moving pictures using levers and linkages. We are basing our pictures on the story of The Iron Man by Ted Hughes.

We created art in the shape of brains using words we thought of when we were talking about neuro diversity. We decided that the world would be very boring if we were all the same.

Year 3 had a great time in the sunshine, drawing in Williamson Park. We looked at the Raku Sculpture and the stone figures on the Ashton Memorial as we have been studying sculpture in art. We combined our art visit with our Big Lent Walk.

Year 3 all looked amazing today in their World Book Day costumes. We had a great day talking about and writing stories. We even designed statues of our favourite book characters to link with our art topic on sculpture.

Today is Ash Wednesday, so after we went to church we changed the cloth on our prayer table to purple for Lent. Then we decorated paper flowers with what we are going to do in Lent to grow closer to God.

We have been creating pictures in the style of Lowry. We used photographs of Lancaster and recreated them with sketching pencils then highlighted the pictures using watercolour paints. Can you spot where in Lancaster the images are from?

We have been learning about fractions. As our challenge task today we were trying to find out how many different ways we could shade half of a 4 x 4 square. How many ways can you think of?

Year 3 and Year 4 had great fun at our Christmas Party this afternoon. We danced lots and played lots of games. 

We have finished our designs, cut our wood and now we are starting to build our night lights.
