Egyptian Day

We spent a day in the life of an Egyptian. In the morning, we carried out many art and design activities including making Canopic jars. In the afternoon, we prepared and ate our feast.

Calendars

Using digital media, we edited our own photographs to create our 2020 calandars. We altered the brightness, shadows, highlights and even zoomed in on different elements.

We have been learning about the digestive system. We worked scientifically to represent what happens inside our bodies during digestion!

We immersed ourselves in the life of a Viking village, we learnt how to make materials for trade such as clay pots, beeswax candles and broaches. After we had recreated a traditional Viking battle we transported to the present day; becoming archaeologists. We had to dig in our trench and try to identify the location of our site based on our findings.

Mother's Day Cards

The children used their new quilling skills to create a selection of flowers such as daffodils and tulips for their Mother's Day cards.

God's Eye

The Huichol Indians of Mexico and the Aymara Indians of Bolivia weave brightly coloured yarn on a frame of crossed sticks to create a spiritual object called "Ojo de Dios" or "Eye of God". They were originally placed on an altar so that the gods could watch over the praying people and protect them.
The children created their own and decorated them with beaded tassels.

Chinese New Year

The children learnt about some of the customs and celebrations that take part during Chinese New Year. They produced sketches and created quilled collages inspired by the traditional Dragon Dance.

Saxon Brooches

The Anglo-Saxons fastened their clothes with brooches made from bronze or silver. They were usually circular and decorated with patterns and precious stones. We made some jewellery of our own.

Fruit Study

A selection of pencil and pastel artwork inspired by May Rivers, a local artist whose paintings classified fruit grown at The Rivers Nursery in Sawbridgeworth during the mid-1800s
