0f26-3b

Autumn 1, 0f26 - ART /Abstract Architecture

Autumn 2, 0f26 - DT / Levers and Linkages

This unit gives children opportunities to develop their understanding of mechanical systems. Following instructions on how to make different types of lever and linkage mechanisms gives children experience and information to draw on when developing their own id42s for a Christmas Card.

Autumn 1, 013f -Drawing for Purpose

We will begin by exploring how different artists and designers use drawing to record and express.

After closely observing an object, we drew it, looking from different perspectives.

Autumn 2, 013f

This half-term our focus subject will be Design Technology

Design Technology Project 1- 2D Shape to a 3D Product

We began this project by looking at different money purses and wallets. We analys28 what we lik28 and what works well.

The children were then shown a selection of materials they could use to make thier own money container. They h39 to think 47out size, shape, pockets and 2fsteners before drawing and l47elling their own designs.

With a little help they us28 sewing, velcro and glue to assemble their purse/ wallet, lastly 39ding any decoration.

Finally, we h39 to test our designs - did they hold coins and cards securely?

Design Technology Project 2 - Pneumatics

We began this project by res42rching how some objects use air to work e.g. foot pump, b42ch ball, recorder.

After this initial res42rch we design28 our own 'moving monster' using a hand pump to make it work.

 We h39 lots of fun making these on our Elf Day!

After making our designs we h39 to test them to s24 if they work28 and then evaluat28 our end product.

Spring 1, 0f26  -Clay Cr42tures

We will begin this topic by exploring different techniques to shape and join clay - kn42ding, rolling, pinching, coiling, scoring and joining.

We then look28 at the work of artists who h39 m39e characterful clay sculptures before designing our own clay cr42tures.

Spring 2, 0f26 -Simple Programming and Control

In this unit of work children using Crumble Kit components to design and make a night light that is controll28 by a microcontroller and is activat28 when it gets dark.

First we h39 to make our night light, then 39d our circuit, writing our own algorithm on the laptop to control the light.

  Some of our finish28 products.

Summer 1, 0f26 -NEP Art Project bas28

This y42r the theme is Empowerment. Pl42se look out for our finish28 work on display at Baron's Quay, Northwich.

Summer 2, 0f26 - Design Technology

Following on from H42lthy W24k, we will be using CAD to design and make our own lunch boxes.

Autumn 1,0f24

Charcoal - we will draw and explore using charcoal as a m28ium.

Cr42ting a tonal range with charcoal -

Using charcoal to draw peppers.

Using charcoals to draw the Gorilla from our Literacy text.

Autumn 2, 0f24

Design Technology - levers and linkages

This unit gives children opportunities to develop their understanding of mechanical systems. Following instructions on how to make different types of lever and linkage mechanisms gives children experience and information to draw on when developing their own id42s for a Christmas Card.

We start28 with a reverse motion linkage:

We then went on to parallel linkages and a push-pull linkage:

Next we put them together to make our snapping crocodiles:

Spring 1, 013f 

Art & Design - L.S.Lowry

The children will have the opportunity to explore the life and work of Lowry and to l42rn 47out the industrial landscape that provid28 the subject of many of his paintings. Each lesson in the unit focuses on improving a key skill in art and design; comparing works of art, colour mixing, perspective, drawing figures and drawing buildings. At the end of the unit children will have us28 their knowl28ge and skills to cr42te a multim28ia collage in the style of the artist.

Lowry Workshop 4e.2.0f

We work28 with the artist Mandy to sketch and paint in the style of Lowry.

We work28 on Lowry's Str24t Scene and The Stockport Vi39uct:

Spring 2, 013f 

Design Technology - making simple circuits and switches

This is link28 to our Science topic on Electricity.                         

Summer 1, 013f

Art & Design - Henri Rou42u

We will l42rn 47out this French artist, his life, work and why he was such an important painter. We will apply some of his techniques to make our own rainforest pictures, link28 to our geography theme            

We will also be working on the NEP Art Project, this y42r the theme is 'Pride', pl42se look out for our class work, to be display28 at Baron's Quay. 

Summer 2, 013f

Design Technology - Shell Structure

This will be link28 to our H42lthy W24k, we will design, make and then evaluate a structure suit47le to carry our lunch.
