Working with P7 Enterprise

This week for our Art lesson, we created items for the Enterprise Christmas Shop. We created Santa jelly bean cups using red cups, gold buckle stickers, little black belts and some black button stickers. We even decorated them with glitter to give them an extra special touch!

 

These cups will be available in the Enterprise shop and will help us raise money for our school!

Remembrance Sunday

November 17, 2017 by Mrs Lamb | 0 comments

November is the month of remembrance where we remember and recognise the people who have died in our lives.

This week, we looked at the significance of Remembrance Sunday  and why people wear poppies.

We watched a youtube video from Poppy Scotland Learning about The Great War and how the Poppy first became a symbol of Remembrance.

 

Many children in our class had stories of giving money to the volunteers or knowing someone who had worn a poppy. Some of them had even worn a poppy themselves!

To remember the people who have fought to keep us safe, we created our own poppy tribute using different medias including crayon, collage and finger-painting.

Here are some of us creating our poppies:

To finish, we cut them out and Miss Ely painted the middle black before putting them up on our door to show all of Holy Cross!  Don’t they look beautiful?

Bonfire Night Art

November 2, 2017 by Mrs Lamb | 0 comments

This week, P2A looked at the story of Bonfire Night. We learned about Guy Fawkes and how his plot to destroy Parliament and King James I was foiled by a simple letter!

We created a bonfire landscape by tearing and collaging red, yellow, orange and pink tissue paper onto black card. This made it look like the sky was on fire from the many bonfires around the city of London.

 

We glued an image of Parliament onto the foreground and added sparkly pipe cleaners to create a firework effect.

Fun Fact: Most of the Palace of Westminster or the Houses of Parliament was destroyed in a fire in 1834.The image of Parliament we used isn’t correct as the current Houses of Parliament building in London was not completed until 1870.

Here we are with some of our fabulous artwork!
