Over the last two weeks, children have been using different media types to create artwork linking to the stories they read. Firstly, the children read The Leaf Thief then created their own autumnal leaves using chalk, learning how to blend.   This week, children read Leaf Man and found that leaves go wherever the wind blows.

We finished by giving the pots a water and tidying up. By spring, we will see how …

This half term, children from year 4 and 5 have looked at many artists who base their artwork around our natural world. Together, they decided to create mixed media pieces showcasing all of the beautiful things in our world. The children used watercolours, pencils, acrylics, and pens to create most of their artwork then used materials and fine liners to …
