 We had a fantastic morning in Mrs. Kelly's class this week. We are continuing with our project about maps.
We began by making some water colour paintings of some of the objects found last week in the playground.















They worked very carefully to mix colours and made some lovely paintings with subtle tones and brighter ones too!




We looked at the similarities and differences between our collections and thought about how to describe them.






After break we made a beautiful, big map of the playground.

In Year 5


This week Miss Slater's class 5S were looking at Tudor paintings. They made a glossary by doing some beautiful drawings of the objects and writing what we had learnt about the meanings of the objects.


They used oil pastels to colour them...







Then we used viewfinders to look at details on Tudor paintings





 And we mixed the paint to get just the right colours



 Paint was very expensive in Tudor times, especially black, blue and red




Rich Tudors would wear fabrics in these colours to show off their wealth



5S made some beautiful abstract paintings of the objects and details of the fabrics
