Thursday 13th December

Well this week was our last session of Artclub for this half term.



All the "bits" needed painting for our big painting of Cinderella's kitchen. These will be cut out and added on to the background.


To complete the Butterflies and Dragonflies project we needed to paint a background and flowers.  On to this some of the more robust saltdough models we made earlier in the half term, have been stuck.  This I have just assembled up at Children's Centre this evening and it looks fabulous.




The large models we have made are now at the Children's Centre and will be displayed over Christmas. We have a date planned for our Artclubbers to bring their family and friends to see them.  It is on Thursday 17th January at 3.45pm.

 
We look forward to seeing you there.

A huge thankyou to all you KS 1 artists who have been so enthusiastic to try all the things we do, whether it's inside, outside, painting, drawing, making sculptures....you have been amazing........!

Thursday 6th December

This week we continued with our scenery for the Drama Club's production.

 
We had a beanstalk to construct. We cut our painted fabric into strips, stapled the edges together and stuffed them with scrunched up newspaper.
 
 

This will be built in the school hall just before the production in January.


We painted the leaves to add to the beanstalk's stem.




Whilst some of us worked on this, others were busy painting the backdrop which is Cinderella's kitchen.


We printed the brickwork for the old-fashioned cooker, painted the dresser, table, ceiling and window.


Next week is our last Artclub for Key Stage 1. We will be completing the Cinderella painting and creating a background on which we will display the fabulous salt dough butterflies and dragonflies we made earlier in the term.  This will be put up in the Children's Centre to accompany the large scale models we have been making for their community room.
