Handsworth Arts Trail

 Both 6G and 6C have had the opportunity over the last few weeks to take the Handsworth Park Arts Trail. We were taken around the park by 2 local artists, who had both created some of the art in the park. You can go too!


First, we took the trail to have a look at most of the art pieces. We discussed their meaning, the artist who created it and the artist's inspiration for the piece.

On our way round, we noticed that there was a plinth without anything on top... This was our task! We had to create our own statue top to represent Handsworth and the park. We were given clay and natural items from the park (leaves, pine cones, sticks, etc).
These are our creations:

Fun with Wooden animals in 6C.

A lot of children were out celebrating Eid on Thursday and Friday (and we hope they had a wonderful time), while the children who were in class really enjoyed coming off timetable to make wooden animals. They had to sketch out an animal and adapt it to squared paper using horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines only. They then used this template to see which lengths of wood they needed to cut out. They layered the wood up and glued them together to create their animals.

DT Making Wooden Frames

We are using accurate measuring and cutting skills to get the correct sized pieces of wooden deal. We will construct and secure the frame in place with glued (card)triangles for maximum strength.
