It has been art week at By Brook Valley, and we have been creating our own artwork ready for the Gallery Night! We started the week by finding out about the artist Mark Hearld and how he is inspired by the British Countryside. We found out he demonstrates lots of textures in his artwork and that he is most famous for his collages, so that is what we are doing for our final pieces!

We loved exploring how we could create different textures with paint. We used a variety of different materials to paint with to create different effects and textures.

We then moved onto using our paintwork to create collages. We drew an outline of a bird and then ripped pieces of the paint up to create our colleges. You will have to come to the Gallery Night to see our amazing finished pieces!

In our RSHE lessons, we looked at how we change from babies and how we will continue to change as we age. The children thought of things they could or couldn't do or will be able to do at different ages. We also discussed the scientific names for body parts.

Reminders:
