This week in WoLLoW, Year 5s have been learning about the Romans and the story behind Hadrian’s Wall and the Vindolanda writing tablets. For this activity, they had to work collaboratively and discuss where the information would go on the map. Mme Simpson
Year 5 have been doing great work with Mr Lee as part of Forest School, planting new trees at the end of the astro. After a quick lesson from Mr Lee, the children worked really hard to plant Blackthorn, Dogswood, Hazel, Rowan, Silverbirch and Wild Cherry trees.
A colourful week in the Art Department!
Our pupils have been exploring an exciting mix of materials and techniques across the year groups:
🔴Year 3 have been glazing their abstract terracotta stationery holders, adding a second layer of colour before they head into the kiln.
🟣 Year 4 have begun sculpting their own Terracotta Army figures after learning about the Qin Dynasty.
🟠Year 5 have transferred their chosen botanical illustrations onto gessoed wooden panels and started painting with vibrant acrylic inks.
🔵Year 6 are building sculptural maquettes, experimenting with scale and perspective using terracotta clay, wooden bases and architectural figures.
🟡Year 8 have created striking automatic paintings on circular wooden panels using acrylic pouring techniques.
A brilliant range of projects taking shape across the department.
