In our English lessons in Year Four this week we have been working on our whole school moderated writing project where we have been writing a personal reflection on a sunset.  Here is Harry from the Nightingales piece of work. 

In Art, the Giraffes have created their own final piece based on Stonehenge. They’ve used water colours to create a warm or cold background and added a silhouette of the historical landmark.

In Year 4, the Nightingales have been reading Varjak Paw by SF Said in their English lessons. In this lesson we tried to initiate the style of the illustrations from the book to draw a city scene using charcoal.

In English, the Giraffes have started looking at our text called "UG Boy Genius of the Stone Age."

Molly has analysed the front cover to predict what she thinks will happen.

Next years Nightingales were introduced to their new History topic, the Romans during transition week.  As part of this we drew some pencil sketches of a Roman soldier.  Here is a selection of what they produced.

In the Giraffes, children have been practising drawing eyes.  Once they had practised the shape and outline, children experimented with adding colours and effects, using a variety of media, such as charcoal, watercolour, drawing pencils, felt pens and oil pastels.  The ideas will be used to design an eye sculpture, to be made later this term from clay.
