Autumn Term Art Work   

The Creative Work of Derek Gores

Derek Gores was born in 1971 ,in New York. He is a collage artist ,who creates his artwork by recycling magazines, maps and newspapers . The pupils in year five have recreated their own work in his style using card, tissue paper and newspapers.

 

 

 We have been experimenting with different colours and lines to create our own 3D patterns.

 

 

 Our Class Reader: There’s a Boy in the Girls’ Bathroom by Louis Sachar

The children are currently finding out about the antics of the main character Bradley Chalkers. They have produced a variety of different writing from this book and are enjoying reading it in class!

 

 During the spring term year five have been learning all about the ancient Greeks and how they lived. We have created art work in the style of the ancient Greek pottery.

 

Many aspects of the ancient Greek lives were influenced by the Greek Gods. The ‘Eye’ was a symbol used by the ancient Greeks and was a symbol of protection. The symbol of the eye was often painted on the bows of boats, as the Greeks believed this would ensure that the gods would keep them safe from storms at sea. The Greeks painted eyes on their pottery as a decorative symbol.

We have created our own temples using paper and  straws.

 

Summer Term  in Year Five

 

Year Five have been  learning all about bread. We have learned how bread is made, the ingredients that go into a loaf and have found out about different breads around the world. Using our school links with a local Asda store, we had a go at designing and making our own bread. Have a look at our recent breadmaking pictures in class.

 

 

We have also been making clay masks because we have been learning all about ancient Greek theatre. Only men were allowed to perform, and they would change their character by changing the mask. We made our masks from terracotta clay and painted them in a range of colours and styles.
