Year 6 have been examining slices of fruit and vegetables to create detailed drawings using their sketching pencils. They used a variety of marks to add shading and detail.

Year 6 had the most fantastic time at Sports Day. They helped to organise and score the whole morning and took part with enthusiasm and resilience. What a great morning! Congratulations to the Red team who were victorious. 

Y6 took advantage of the recent fine weather and moved their artistic talents out to the playground. They were tasked with creating a design which used only natural things found around the playground. Some very creative pieces were made!
