KNS code

Our students union with input from each of the classes created a special KNS Code. 

Our code is short and snappy which helps to keep us focused on the important work we have to do each day. 

As part of creating a happy school environment where everyone is welcome and appreciated we spoke about appropriate ways of talking and playing with our friends. We spoke about what we can do if we have disagreements too (which is unfortunately part of life!) 

Painting with material!

Painting with material you say! No we haven't lost the run of ourselves!

We explored creating a scene out of material instead of paint. It was a really interesting experience. We learnt the importance of planning our work and making sure we used large geometric shapes as much as possible. 

Our pieces turned out lovely. Each one unique. 

Artist Study - Jackson Pollock

Today we learnt about a new artist. 

Jackson Pollock was an artist from America with a very unique way of painting. He used lots of different materials to paint with. Sometimes he even just threw or splattered the paint onto the canvas!

We examined some of his pieces of work and then set about creating our own. 

I think we really stretched our imaginations and created some beautiful pieces of work today.
