Observational Drawings

Fireflies have been learning about the skill of Observational drawing, ‘drawing what you see.’ They have also studied the artwork of Bill Patterson and Art Fitzpatrick who are artists,famous for their drawings of automobiles.

Today Fireflies had the opportunity to put all the things they have learnt into practise. They had the extra special treat of drawing an Austin 7 which was kindly brought into school by Mr Richard Parry.

The children produced some fantastic pieces of artwork. Please take a look at the pictures below.

Bronze Ambassadors – KS1

Our Y6 Bronze ambassadors have been continuing with their lunch clubs with KS1 on Wednesday and Thursday again this week.

Nativity – Lines/Costumes

Our nativity, this year, is called ‘A King is Born’.

All the children in Fireflies and Grasshoppers have been given their parts.

If your child has brought home lines please could you help them to learn them, as soon as possible.

We have lots of costumes in school for children to use, but we will let you know if your child needs additional items or a costume that we haven’t already got.

Many thanks,

Mrs Morris & Mrs Fox

Self-Portraits

In art, Fireflies have been learning the skills to create a self-portrait. They have used and developed their observational skills and explored mixing colours to create skin and lip tone.

They have also enjoyed looking at self-portraits by Van Gogh, Picasso and Kahlo. They have discussed the similarities and differences between the artist’s self-portraits and compared the portraits to their own artwork.

The work is up on display and the children are very proud of their achievements.

Help Your Child Read Parent Workshop – Wednesday 5th October

We are holding a workshop for parents of early readers (Reception and Year 1) in school on Wednesday 5th October at 1.30pm.

In the workshop we will be providing the background to the teaching of phonics, as well as providing helpful information on how you can support your child when reading at home.  There will also be the opportunity to practice what you learn by having a short reading session with your child (if you wish!).

Please complete the attached reply form and return to the school office either electronically (admin@brownclee.shropshire.sch.uk) or via reception.

Beach Party Fun

Fireflies and Grasshoppers had a fun filled beach party this morning. The children were fantastic and played brilliantly with one another. There was so much collaboration, support and sharing. It was a real pleasure to watch. Then this afternoon we had our special treat…ice cream! It was certainly the right sort of weather for an ice cream.
