We have been very creative at South Grove this half term. Here is what each year group has been up to:

Nursery have been exploring mark making using a range of resources.
Reception have painted very detailed self-portraits.
In year 1, they have enjoyed designing and making puppets.
Year 2 have been developed their drawing skills and have used a grid method to improve how they show space in a portrait of Florence Nightingale
In year 3, they looked at how to paint using a colour wash and created collages of underwater scenes.
As part of their topic about Ancient Egypt, year 4 made 3D masks based upon Death masks found in pyramids. They even made canopic jars using clay.
Year 5 looked at the line drawings of Steven Wiltshire and drew their favourite London landmarks. They also explored photography.
Year 6 have been looking at Greek pots and drew research based upon this in preparation for making their own pots.
