  We really enjoyed creating these seedy sunflower collages with Ms. McIntyre ! It was fun mixing the sand, seeds, pulses and paint. We were inspired by learning all about the Netherlands, the painter Vincent Van Gogh and his works.

We were so relaxed sitting in the sunshine of the walled garden at Glenveagh
National Park, sketching the wildlife, flora and fauna around us.

We've been practising and improving our drawing skills! We've enjoyed helping each other to draw objects, and also drawing things by ourselves. We drew classroom objects, our hands and each other.
   
   
   
   
  We explored OCTAGONS, PENTAGONS and HEXAGONS
by drawing lines inside and joining all the corners. We found lots of magical stars inside and smaller and smaller shapes! Then we had fun colouring in lovely patterns.
 
   
 
   
Danielle came to visit us and we really enjoyed her puppet show
with her beautiful handmade puppets and her lovely music, playing the lyre. Then we made stars out of willow and flowers and fish out of flax leaves. We also composed songs about the trees, fruit and flowers around us. We had a lot of fun!
Thank you Danielle
   
Don't Throw litter in our Wonderful World!
Your great, great, great grandchildren will be living with it

The busy sea and beach. Would you like to rent
a surf board, buy an ice-cream or use the toilets?
Do you see the ship like the Titanic?

The sky and sea. We love our happy sun and unusual birds

The sky and hills. There is a lot of sky traffic, with a
helicopter, plane, parachuter, hot air balloonist and many seagulls!

The road down from the hills, through the fields to the sea.
We pass lovely colourful beach huts!
  They remind Mrs. Wilkinson of some Italian beach huts she painted in oils:  

The shore and beach. Would you like to hire a bike, buy some treats or gather shells?
We really enjoyed taking part in creating the SPACE display in the hallway. Have a look at the models, poems and stories we created and visit the SPACE DISPLAY page  
This is just a sample!

Our Symmetrical Art !
We've been learning all about symmetry in Maths. We've examined the many examples of symmetry in nature, and created beautiful symmetrical painted butterflies.
Then for fun we wrote the mirror image of our names and
found that funny monsters emerged! Can you find our names?

We had great fun looking at famous examples of OP ART, some of which appeared to move before our eyes even though we knew this was an optical illusion ! Then we created our very own special Op Art. We hope that you enjoy it.

We made collage studies of the mountain ash, sycamore and the oak trees.
