Week Ending 16/12/16

The penultimate week of this school term and Year Three have undoubtedly been as busy as ever!

We decided that this week as we have been busy with rehearsals (acting, singing and dancing!) and fine-tuning our performances (we have moved on leaps and bounds) we made this week an arts week! 

We started the week with painting a winter scene. We wanted the moon to be dominant in the centre of our paintings and the trees to be silhouettes in the light night sky. We were inspired by the time of year and the early winter weather conditions we are experiencing. We were very happy with our work as we experimented with tints and shades, tone and shape.

If you want to create a winter scene over the weekend, please read this for advice.

 

 

Mid-week we decided to focus on William Morris who was one of the proponents of the Arts and Craft movement. We decided on William Morris as his prints were mostly of flowers and plants which ties in with our main term topic of plants. We were moved by the repetition and the rich colours that he used with his prints.

If you find yourself in London over the Christmas period, Mr Chris can highly recommend The William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow. Here is a good video showing the restored gallery:

Finally, we have been devoted to our show (which we will be performing for you next Tuesday 20/12/16 and Wednesday 21/12/16) practicing our lines, rehearsing over and over, learning our songs inside and out and for some of us complicated dance routines too! Any time you can spend with us over the weekend listening to us deliver our lines and helping us with our song lyrics would be really appreciated!
