We’ve had a truly wonderful Arts Week, Year Three have immersed themselves in so many creative experiences and produced some fantastic work.
In art, we explored the work of UK textile artists Alice Kettle and Hannah Rae, known for their art inspired by the environment. The children painted landscapes on fabric, then used running stitch to add texture and detail. The finished pieces were beautiful and full of creativity!
On Monday, we had an energetic Djembe drumming session with Mrs Edger. The children loved playing the large drums and working together to create exciting rhythms as a class.
We even joined an interactive dance lesson led by Darcey Bussell. We tried out a range of dance styles from around the world, including the Charleston, the Hand Jive, Bollywood dancing, and a traditional Japanese dance. It was a joyful, active session full of fun!
We also explored self-portraits by sketching in the style of Roman busts. The children used mirrors to observe their own features carefully before sketching their outlines. They then chose either warm or cool colour tones to give their portraits a unique flair.
We ended the week with a brilliant celebration worship featuring performances from the fantastic Make Noise Adult and Junior Choirs. What a wonderful week!
