The Bluebells have been familiarising themselves with the art room. As part of their topic, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, the pupils have created a character using sensory materials.

Barry Strawberry was made using soft red cloth and crinkly yellow tissue paper. Well done everyone! Lots of hard work from these successful learners.

Mrs Macdonald has discovered two large boxes of scrap material and cloth in the art room cupboard.

The Pine class were able to use some of this material to make a map of Swallow Falls from the film ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs’.

We enjoyed some sensory play with the larger sheets of green material before beginning the collage using various sensory materials

Lots of effective contribution today! Well done!

The pupils in the Pine Class have chosen to do a book study as their topic this term.

Today we created some very expressive work in the art room. The children used apple prints to create a picture of an apple tree. We discussed the different textures of the apple and the lovely smell!

The apples were chopped into prints which would create the trunk, apples and leaves. I’m sure you’ll agree that everyone has done very well!

Excellent work from out successful learners today!

Today the boys from Transition Class have been working with recycled materials to create fabulous 3D apples.

Willowbank School have been gathering 2l plastic bottles as part of our greenhouse project. The bottom part of the bottle is not required for the structure so the children used their creative skills to make these models.
