recently, we have been creating African Art. African Art is a style of art originating form Africa.

how to create African Art.

1. First, draw your design on a piece of A4 paper, making sure the design takes up most of the page.
2. Next, get a piece of white fabric and trace your design onto the fabric, ensuring that the drawing is ALL printed on to the fabric.
3. Then, create a mixture of flour and water, making sure the mixture has a texture of slime.
4. Fill a syringe with the flour and water mixture and slowly squeeze the mixture over the lines that you have traced onto the fabric.
5. Once you have done that, let the art dry by a radiator.
6. After it has dried, paint over the fabric using fabric paint and making sure that all of the small cracks are filled.
7. let it dry.
8. peel off the flour and water mixture from the fabric. iron the fabric for three minutes.
9. your art is done!

Hello! Last week we made some remembrance paintings to remember the soldiers in the world wars. We painted backgrounds of red, yellow, orange and pink. Then we traced over a picture of a solder silhouette and then drew it onto black card. We cut the card out and glued it to our backgrounds. Some of us added some poppies. We made a remembrance wall display.

 

I done the landscape painting with the pink background.

That is all from me for a now! BYE!!!

Hello everyone, today I will be telling you about our learning.

We have been learning about WWI. We have made posters, models, wall displays, recounts and much more. We are also reading a class novel that is about the trenches and a soldier called Billy Stevens and basically it is a vividly imagined account from WWI . We will also get GOLD, SILVER or BRONZE certificates for our posters.

BYE!!!!! O

Hey guys! How are you all doing?

Today P7s went to DG1 to have a day of operation safety. 

We went in groups, so, our school was our school, obviously, and we were also with Gelston Primary and we first went to a room that was on a corridor that I had never seen. When we entered, there was a lady standing there with purple hair and was wearing a blue top that said YOUTHWORKS  on it. The room had white walls and a large window at the end. In this room we each had a table of six and we had a board with the alphabet and we had to name as many apps as we could starting with each of the letters in the alphabet. We then made a Tik-Tok (but our group never made one) that wasn’t going to get published anyway. 

Then we went to another room and we were focusing on safety with cables and live wire. We then did an exercise that included holding hands to complete a circuit of possibly 1 volt, but anyway, when we all held hands we lit up a light and it flashed and made a sound. At the end we done a little questionnaire.

When we went to another room afterwards we found a lady on the floor, unconscious (not) and she had a paint tray, a paint roller, two cables (not live) and her leg was resting on a chair that was on it’s side. We then checked all of the hazards and Erin switched off the wire (it was a fake button) and then Noah moved all of the wires and the paint tray and the paint roller out of the way as fast as he could. Then we checked her breathing and she was alive (obviously) and then we put her in recovery position and she was alive!

Next, before lunch, we went to learn about water safety and all we did was talk about water safety and we looked over the water rescuer’s outfit.

After lunch we went to do a calm activity were we wrote down our role model and what we liked about our self . 

Finally, we went to do fire safety and we talked about what we could and couldn’t put on a fire. Then we did a quiz and then we went home.
