Moorhens Artwork

 Both staff and children at Moorhens decided to add some artwork to two very bland wooden cupboard doors.

 The title we decided on was 'Spring & Summer and Autumn & Winter'.













                                                                         




Different materials and textures were used such as wallpaper, cotton wool, tissue paper,textured paint, glitter, cardboard, cellophane and much more.                                  

Sewing was also involved to add details to an Autumn leaf.


















Younger children helped cut and stick extra leaves to the picture.

The Christmas tree was painted before tissue paper was added.

Pipe cleaners were then used to add the affect of trimmings to the Christmas tree.

Ladybird children helped roll tissue paper into balls and stuck them on to the picture of the sun.

Cellophane was used to add the effect of water movement.

Cotton wool was used to for ice cream whilst sweet paper helped to cover  an Easter egg.

 

Finger knitting with wool was added to finish off the sheep picture which gave it texture.














This is the final result. It's taken a few months to finish, but what a wonderful job the children have done.

Class 2 Page Update

Class 2 have been working incredibly hard this week on their rocket wind up mechanisms in Design Technology.  I have updated the Class 2 page with photographs of each stage of our makes and the children with their final mechanism.  They are fab!  Well done Class 2!

Year 3 homework and photos added!

Please take a look in the year 3 area of the website.

You will find this week's homework and spellings and some photos of Paperhenge!!!

Moorhenge Stonehenge Paperhenge !

Today in Class 3 we learnt about Stone circles from the Stone age.

We recreated our own circle so it looked like Stonehenge.

The children christened it either Moorhenge or Paperhenge!!!

The children really enjoyed their work today and it was great fun too!


I have tried to upload photos but I think I've saved them in the wrong format so I will try again tomorrow!

If any of the children read this post it would be great if they could comment and say what they have learnt today.

Extended Booking Form Error

Apologies - It has come to our attention, that there is an error on the Moorhens booking form for the February-March term. The school will be open on Monday 23rd February as usual and not as indicated on the form.

Oreo Moons!
