Thursday 8th December

It was our last Artclub session for Key Stage 1 today.

We coloured in and decorated Christmas cards and finished off "teeth" for our shark, "eyes" for our crab and fins for our fish.

Tonight, Mrs. Mistry, Mrs. Comstive and myself, Mrs. Chin have put the festive painting we have been working on in Artclub up in the hall for all to see. Mrs. Comstive has said it will be the perfect backdrop to her Drama Club's production. So how exciting!

Mrs. Mistry and I would like to say what a pleasure it has been working with you all this half term and we are very impressed with the skills you are developing as young artists.

Thursday 1st December. Week 7

We've all been painting today.

Big painting on the classroom floor and detailed painting; decorating baubles. These will be stuck on the christmas tree on the painting.

Week 6. Thursday 24th November

We started our new painting project today! We are painting a massive Christmas scene which will be displayed in the school hall in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Some people started the painting whilst others finished the decoration of our sea creatures.

Next week, we will ALL be painting.

The Big Draw Community Event 2011

We welcomed the community into school to look at our exhibition of amazing of drawings, which took over the hall....

The Big Draw comes to Robin Hood 2011

On October 3rd 2011, we had a FANTASIC day dedicated to drawing. The whole school took part in The Big Draw 2011, which was a fabulous way of showing the children and wider community the importance of enriching drawing experiences. Take a look at some of the Highlights....

Week 5. Thursday 17th November

Today at Artclub we were adding colour and texture to the creatures. We chose colours that complimented the background paint we had applied last week.

There were glittery fabrics, sequins, feathers, ribbon, felt, shiny paper and Mrs. Mistry produced a tub of glitter to really brighten them up!

The crab was painted too - orange and brown.

We are taking a break from our "Under the Sea" creatures for a couple of weeks to work on a collaborative Christmas painting that will be hung in the hall for Christmas. Please can I ask parents and carers to send some old clothes to change into as we will be kneeling on the floor to paint (as it's so big!) and it is so easy to kneel in a wet bit of paint. Thankyou.

Week 4. Thursday 10th November

Today we have been busy painting the models we paper mached last week.

Our design brief required us to use bright colours so we chose colours inspired by the illustrations in the book "Commotion in the Ocean".
