Portrait workshop at the Shrewsbury Museum

Class 1 went to Shrewsbury museum to complete a portrait workshop. This supported their learning about the three queens in History and their portrait unit in Art.

In the learning room, we learnt how to paint a self-portrait. The results were fantastic!

We also completed a tour of the museum to look at portraits. We found that portraits often have secret clues in them to tell us about the lives of the person in the portrait.

We also enjoyed exploring the museum before having a well earned play in the Quarry.

Year 1 Science – Exploring fruit and vegetables

In Science, we learnt that fruits and vegetables are plants that we eat. We learnt that when we eat vegetables, we are eating part of the plant – the leaves, the stem, the root and the flowers. We learnt that the fruit contains the seed.

We then learnt how to cut fruit for our D&T and enjoyed tasting it at the end!

Art – Using warm and cool tones

We finished our unit of work on colour by creating a piece inspired by Robert Delaunay’s ‘The Joy of Life’.  We used warm and cool tones to create our paintings.

English hook – Monkey See, Monkey Do

We arrived back from assembly to find a mysterious letter on the carpet. The hat seller had lost all of his hats!

We went on a search and found all of his hats outside!

We then each tried on the hat that we would buy from the hat seller!

Finally we designed new hats that we would sell as the hat seller.

Art – Recreating Jackson Pollock

In Art we have been learning about colour and mixing new colours. We learnt that adding white to colours made a lighter tint and adding dark made a darker shade. We learnt that tints are used to create happy, calm pictures and shades are used to create sad or unhappy pictures.

 

We mixed darker shades and then recreated Jackson Pollock drip paintings using these shades.
