During the month of October, the school participated in The Big Draw. This year’s theme was Back to colour so as a school, we focused on colour- warm and cool colours and their effect.
We also combined this with outdoor learning by looking at trees and collecting leaves to draw.
Year 3 used their leaves and colouring pencils to create scribble pictures.
Year 4 used their oil pastels to blend colour and create intricate zentangles.
Year 5 used any colour media in their art boxes to create tree ‘stained glass’ images using warm and cool colours.
Year 6 carefully drew their leaves and then added cool paint on the leaf and warm colours in the background or vice versa.
