Year 5
Our art lessons this half term have been about space. We have looked at retrofuturism art and specifically a piece called Moonwalk by Teis Albers. We then created our own collagraph printing plate to create a background for our art. Finally we sketched out our ideas before drawing the final piece onto our backgrounds. Take a look...
Monday 10th July - Science - Today we have carried out an experiment to make a parachute. The aim was to design the parachute that took the longest time to drop from the hall ceiling to the floor.
