UKS2 Viking History Workshop
Upper Key Stage Two had the wonderful opportunity of taking part in a day long Viking History activity workshop delivered by external expert providers ‘History Off the Page’ – the children had enormous fun doing (amongst other activities) practising their archery skills, making Thor inspired metal work, using Viking medicinal remedies, creating their names in clay using the Viking alphabet, sewing garments, painting decorations and creating candles.
Harry Potter Studios – Oak
Oaks trip to Harry Potter Studios was enjoyed by everyone. They had a fantastic day riding broom sticks and creating games in the work shop. When they got back to school they created leaflets to promote the shops that were in Diagon Alley.
The children’s work is displayed in the class room and on our new display board.
Picasso Cubism
For our Art we looked at cubism. We have been looking at the work of Picasso and other artists who have used this genre. We painted these pictures of flowers using geometric shapes and acrylic paints.
Duxford
Oak class had great fun yesterday at Duxford; they made mini documentaries in the Battle of Britain hanger and had a cinema experience in the operations room.
They even got to see some planes take off and land.
“Take One” Art
This year’s picture is “Woman in a Hat and A fur Coat” by Pablo Picasso. Each class uses a picture for inspiration for their art work. Some of our classes created with own art work inspired by the Pablo Picasso artwork and others used his cubism style of art to inspire their own paintings.
Cubism is a style of art which aims to show all of the possible viewpoints of a person or an object all at once. It is called Cubism because the items represented in the artworks look like they are made out of cubes and other geometrical shapes. Cubism was first started by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque.
All the art work was displayed in the hall for all the children to enjoy.
Go Ape Wendover Woods
Year 6 had an adventure filled day today at Wendover Woods doing the Go Ape Activity. We had the opportunity of learning key PSHE skills like resilience, what makes a good team player and the importance of following rules in different setting to stay safe. Many of them overcome their fears and they all completed the course.
