The FS1-2 kids have been learning about the weather, focusing on rainy days this week.
We discussed our feelings during rainy days, what we wear, and what we need to stay dry.
To explore further, we created clouds, raindrops, and puddles using cotton and paints.
The Year 1-2 students have been learning about the habitat of frogs. We discovered what frogs look like and where they live. Then, we applied the ideas we learned by drawing pictures of frogs and their habitats.
Vincent Van Gogh’s numerous paintings expressed objects as he felt, revealing his inner self.
Particularly, he enjoyed drawing swirling lines. His famous painting of the cypress tree captures this distinctive characteristic that only Vincent Van Gogh could produce.
The year3-4 students also attempted to draw pictures reminiscent of Vincent Van Gogh, using thick, short lines that swirl. They drew short curves in different colours, adjusting the thickness of the lines and colours according to their feelings at the moment.
Doesn’t our children’s cypress tree reflect their unique sensibilities beautifully?
The year 5-6 students have been delving into the world of art through the study of Seurat’s pointillism technique. They’re exploring how Seurat used tiny dots of colour to create vibrant and detailed images. This hands-on learning experience not only enhances their appreciation for art but also fosters their creativity and attention to detail. I am looking forward to seeing how wonderful their creations will be.
The year 7-9 students have been busy creating stop motion animations, where each frame builds a moving story. They’ve been using editing software to refine their work, adding special effects for that final touch. This project not only sparks creativity but also encourages teamwork and problem-solving. Next week, we will explore a different topic of stop motion animation. It will be even more fun!
The FS1-2 kids delved into crafting frogs and flies for a catching game. We carefully examined pictures of frogs to draw their faces and bodies accurately. Additionally, we explored creating clouds and raindrops using a rainbow of colours.
This week, the Year 1-2 students crafted their daily routine timetables.
We engaged in discussions about our daily routines, covering activities such as waking up, having breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and specifying the times for each. Through this activity, we gained deeper insights into our own routines and schedules.
The Year 3-4 students finished their rendition of “The Starry Night” this week. Additionally, we designed a book cover for “Pinocchio,” incorporating both the title and images in preparation for Book Day.
This week, the year5-6 students had a session where they recreated various masterpieces using their senses and creativity. Each of them added their own unique style to their works, resulting in creative pieces.
The year7-9 students set up the equipment needed to create stop-motion animation and took photos with their phones while drawing simultaneously to capture multiple scenes. It was not an easy activity, but they are learning the process of creating stop-motion animation. Next week, they will experiment with adding sound effects, background music, subtitles, and more to learn editing, ensuring that our drawings come to life as dynamic animations.
