Last year, we introduced the new Access Art primary curriculum to our school and are really excited to see the children's skills develop this year! The curriculum is an exciting, rich and forward thinking visual art curriculum which is designed around the idea that art is far more than a series of technical skills. The Access Art curriculum nurtures creative thinking skills and helps ensure pupils learn through art, as well as about art. We can't wait to share our work with you throughout the year!
In Music, we use the Sing Up Music curriculum which we love! Covering a broad and diverse range of repertoire, approaches, and musical traditions, Sing Up Music supports a fully-integrated approach to musical development, connecting the interrelated strands of singing, playing, performing, composing, improvising, listening, and appraising!
Year 5 - A Midsummer Night's Dream
Year 5 spent the 2nd half of their summer term immersed in the world of Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream. They used their drawing and mark making skills to create their own versions of the character of Bottom (who is changed from a man into a donkey by the mischievous fairy Puck) before creating a mixed media landscape inspired by the magical woodland setting of the play.
