2025/26 Primary 6/7 (Miss O'Connell)

This week P6/7 have been learning more about making art with 1-point of perspective. We know how to create art that has a foreground, midground and background. This week we drew cityscapes with 1-point of perspective disappearing towards a vanishing point to create sophisticated artworks with depth and interest. Great work P6/7!

P6/7O and P6/7D had a wonderful morning, developing their meta skills such as Creativity, Collaboration and Communication to complete a series of Halloween inspired activities. The classes took part in K’Nex Haunted House builds, Spooky coding as well as composing scary musical themes and budgeting for a Halloween party! It was great fun and everyone worked so well together!

Well done to all of you, your costumes were fabulous! And some a  bit scary! Have a wonderful and safe Halloween weekend!

This week we have been learning about synonyms, antonyms and homonyms. We enjoyed coming up with uplevelled vocabulary to help improve our writing! We found synonyms for lots of common words and created our own synonym swirl art to display in class… and even got some synonym swirls to eat too!

Today we participated in a live art lesson facilitated by the National Gallery. We learned about the work of sculptor Eduard Paolozzi and then created our own cardboard sculptures which had to be held together with paper joins and seams… no glue or tape allowed!

We will post exciting things we have been working on in class. Feel free to share any of your achievements and learning from outside of school. 🙂
