During art week, we posed the question ‘What is Art?’ and asked the children to write down answers. Here are some of their responses?
This morning Sapphire class have been hitting the streets, mainly the main entrance to the school office, and creating shadow art on the pavement.
They used large jumbo chalk to fill their shadows…just a shame we didn’t have black!
Yesterday, Sapphire class made 3D sculptures in a pose they chose and then added shadows for effect.
Here are some of their efforts.
As we move towards the end of the summer term, the focus for this week is art. Today the children are making models from pipe cleaners and tin foil, using their own bodies as the basis for their design. They will also be asked to provide an answer to this question, posed by today’s special guest…What is Art?
Need we say anymore…?
Sapphire Class have embarked on yet another ambitious project! We have chosen some of our favourite picture books and turned them into Audio Book’s.
We hope you enjoy!
Sapphire Class would like to say a…

Your task this lesson is to write a 140 character ‘tweet” review of either your current home reading book OR your favourite ever book. As I am feeling kind I will allow you to put the title of the book and the name of the author (e.g. “War Horse by Michael Morpurgo”) at the top of your post and this DOES NOT count towards your 140 character limit.
In case it wasn’t tricky enough, you must also use “if” and “although” as sentence openers.
Choose your words carefully…
