Year 5 News

What a busy last week we had: carol concerts, parties and art week!
 
As part of our art week, the children learnt about the Austrian artist Gustav Klimt.  We then painted pictures of someone we love, as Klimt would have done, learning skills involved with mixing paints and creating just the right colours.  Klimt used lots of gold leaf in his works so we embellished our paintings with our own "gold leaf".  The finished works are on display in the library.
 





 
Lots more children completed their sewing.  Those who weren't in school this week will be able to bring their sewing home to complete.








 
We had a winning team at a Boccia tournament at Leicester City football club.

 
And a winner in the reading raffle with special mentions for our school council representatives.

 
Have a fabulous holiday and a great Christmas.  We can't wait to hear all about it in the new year!

Art Week - Monet influence by F1 Nursery 🎨

During the last week we have also spent some time discussing the famous French Artist 'Claude Monet' and used some of his famous paintings to inspire the children's art work. The children found out that 'Monet' really enjoyed painting in the outdoors. His main aim was to capture the changing light and atmospheric conditions. In particular we used the painting 'Waterlilies' to look at compare with a leaf in a puddle outside. The children observed the same photographed leaf in a puddle at different times of the day to look at the changes in light conditions and the changes in the reflections in the water.
The children used chalks, charcoals and oil pastels to create their pictures.
This allowed them to 'Explore colour and how colours can be changed'  and 'Understand that they can use lines to enclose a space, and then begin to use these shapes to represent objects'.
