This week we have been finishing off some of our Christmas themed activities. We started off by going back over our work and looking at some of the wonderful ideas we had thought of for our Christmas writing earlier in the term. Then we started to put these together to make some poems about Christmas sights and sounds. Later in the week we made some Christmas cards to take home too. There were some amazing designs, and making these made us all feel very Christmassy. I hope yo

I hope you a

This week it's been art week - we always look forward to our art-focused weeks and the medium was through printing.

With that in mind, we aimed to create Christmas-card designs, using simple shapes and backgrounds but through a layered build up approach. After trying out printing styles and weighing up the

This week has seen the return of one of our favourite times of the term - Art Week! We have been designing and creating some Christmas themed prints that we are going to use to make some beautiful Christmas cards. The children have loved experimenting with different printing techniques and styles and they have come up with some wonderful ideas. I won't show the final designs yet though at the children want them to be a surprise!
