Around The School
Visual Arts with Miss Moon
The art room has been filled with lots of printmaking of late with the Year 8's and the 9/10 2D classes exploring the technique. The 9/10 class have experimented with soft carve blocks using a variety of methods including: texta (creating a watercolour effect), printing and fabric inks and will later try the silk screen photo emulsion technique.
The Year 8's have begun exploring relief printing using foam to create their prints. Keep and eye out for their final prints soon.
Year 7 Sports Mash-Ups
At the end of the term, Students in year 7 were set the task of creating their own sport using a combination of two different sports. Each tutor group is stepping up and running the games for the others and putting a little friendly competition together.
Last Wednesday saw the leaders in 7E take the other students through the paces of Bike-Ball and today saw 7A stepping up the game with EggRace-Dodgeball! We are very excited to see what the rest of the tutor groups have in store!
