Mural Design Workshop

On the 7th of July, year 4 children were given the opportunity to visit the Royal West of England Academy for an art workshop. This was organised by Michele Curtis, a local artist who explores black British culture. During the day, we explored the art gallery and discussed which pieces of artwork were our favourite giving reasons why. Each child produced their own canvas which will be incorporated into a final mural design, exhibited at the #Artival2018 exhibition to celebrate the 50th Aniversary of the 1968 St Pauls festival. Take a look at our day below.

Red Lodge trip

On Monday the 4th of July we visited the Red Lodge for a Portrait workshop. The children got the oportunity to look around the red lodge, learn about the history and try on some Tudor clothing. We ended the session sketching a portrait of Lady Joan Young. After the Red Lodge we were all very hungry and ate our lunch on College Green. We also enjoyed the scones we had made in the morning with Miss Manka for DT week.

Pablo Picasso

Year 4 have been learning about Pablo Picasso. We have learnt about his life and the different styles of artwork he produced. We focused a lot on his cubism period and children have had a go at creating their own cubism designs. Take a look.

We love reading

As the weather was lovely this afternoon, and the children had worked very hard in their guitar lessons, we went outside to enjoy our own books with in air school environment. Take a look of some of the children engrossed in their stories.

Year 4's tour around Bristol

Last week, Year 4 were very lucky to go on an open top bus tour around Bristol to learn about its history. Thankfully the weather was also on our side. The bus company came and picked us up from school and the tour lasted approximately 2 and a half hours with a half an hour stop in Clifton where we walked across the Suspension Bridge. Lots of the children were amazed by the views as well as a few of us, including myself, who felt a little nervous due to the height. Take a look out our tour below:
