William Morris - Artwork

We are a very creative bunch in Class 5! After looking at the work of the Victorian interior designer, William Morris, the children produced some observational drawings from wallpaper prints, capturing colour and detail using coloured pencils. 
For our Eisteddfod this week the children have also produced some beautiful daffodil paintings inspired by William Morris! They have enjoyed experimenting with watercolour paints and have produced some fantastic paintings. Well done!

Miner's Museum - School Trip

As part of our topic, Children of the Revolution, Class 5 visited a miner's museum to gain a greater understanding of what life would have been like for a Victorian child working in the mines. The children thoroughly enjoyed the trip! 










Children of the Revolution - Oliver Twist

We have been very busy this half term, it has flown by! Our current topic is Children of the Revolution. During this topic we have read the story of Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. The children performed a small production of Oliver for our class assembly and it was amazing! Mrs Hedges and I were very proud of the children! They worked so hard to remember their lines and they were fantastic!
