Yorkshire Sculpture Park
As part of our Megastructure learning, we had a visit to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. It was very cold and snowy, but absolutely beautiful. The sculptures were great and the children enjoyed looking at them and making their own .
Colour Mixing
The children in Class 8 have been practising using the powder paints and making different shades of orange. The children looked at the colour mixing charts displayed on the classroom walls to find out which two colours are needed to make orange.
Self portraits
Children have worked extremely hard to create these fantastic portraits.
