Andy Warhol- Pop Art

This week we have been learning all about Andy Warhol. He was a famous artist during the 1960s. He created a type of art called, “Pop Art”. This involves recreating the same images a number of times in a variety of colours. Some of his famous paintings are of a Campbell’s soup can, Marlyn Munro, Mickey Mouse and a Coca Cola can.

We created our own Pop Art, some using paint and some with pastels and pens. Have a look at our creations!

Yesterday we went on our school trip to the science centre. First we went to the planetarium to see the solar system and beyond. We realised how big the universe really was there are over 1,000000000000 galaxies. When we were sitting in the seats it felt like we were moving. We learned about the constellations. Here are some: the big dipper, Orion the hunter, 7 sisters and Taurus.

Then we got a chance to explore the 3 floors. Most of the class enjoyed the hamster wheel we also got to try lots of tests. For example we tried electric cars, how fast can you run, how long you can hold on, we even tried a calmness test.

We had a great day and got to spend the whole day exploring and learning. Have a look at our photographs!

These are the things that we enjoyed the most:

Aimee: I enjoyed going on the hamster wheel

Jack: I enjoyed the sprinting

Leah: I enjoyed learning new information

Ross: I enjoyed hanging on to the bars

Orla : I enjoyed the planetarium

Golden Time!

For the first time the whole school took part in golden time on Friday afternoon. We got to choose our stations at the start of the week and we would be rewarded with the stations on the Friday if we worked to the best of our abilities.

We set up six stations, these included Arts and Crafts, Beauty, Board games, baking, IPads and a game from home. This was really good fun! We are all looking forward to doing this again in the weeks to come!
