Remembrance Inspired Stop Motion 6C🌺

 Last week, we worked on stop motion animation inspired by Remembrance.

Here are 6C's videos:

Remembrance Inspired Stop Motion 6G🌺

 For Remembrance Day, we created our own short stop motion videos. We used: sand, whiteboards, paper or clay. 

Here are 6G's videos:

There will be another blog post for 6C!

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.

Anderson Shelter Homework Project

Drawing from Perspective. Using water colours.

 Drawing from Perspective.

Using water colours.

Year 6 have been very busy in art since returning in September, they have been able to go into the nursery playground and choose a view to draw, sketching from what they could see.

They then were able to look at building perspective and making the object appear 3d.

Once they were happy with the drawings they then used tracing paper to transfer their drawings to a final peice of paper, from where they could explore the use of water colours.

Using blends of paint in layers rather then blocks of paint, the children were enthusiastic and a lot of amazing art work has been created.

Good morning year 6. For children in Miss Collingwood's maths group, you have been given some rounding tasks to complete in your pack that has been posted out. I'd really like you to complete the rounding pages to keep your skills fresh. 

Here are some great videos to remind you of rounding using number lines.

Watch the 3 clips: Rounding to 10, Rounding to 100, Rounding to 10, 100, 1000
