Sculpture fun!

George made a sculpture of an owl using clay.

We have been learning about sculptures in Expressive Arts. After learning about plastic pollution, we have designed sculptures to make people aware of this global problem.

Jack “We have been inspired by works of art.”

“We have found pictures on the internet and put them into Word documents.” Thomas P

“We have looked at sculptures and picked our favourites.” Zara

The problem solving task involved moving gold bars in 2 moves. We used problem solving strategies.

Owl Learning

We have been learning about owls. We have been reading ‘The Owl that was afraid the Dark’.

“I liked it when Plop called the lady Father Christmas.” Anabelle

“I liked it when Plop was finally not scared of the dark.” Alice

“These are owl feathers from the 5 Sisters Zoo. The ones with dots are male and the ones with no dots are female.” Amelia

“Owls are interesting because they can turn their heads around and they eat mice whole.” Kyle
