Shout out to everyone in Crew Overson who have come in their pyjamas today or have come as their favourite book character. We can’t wait for all the exciting activities in reading week. Good luck with the treasure hunt this weekend everyone!
This week, the children have been studying some of the photographs that have been taken during the pandemic. They then used these as inspiration to create and edit photos of their own. What’s amazing is how creative the children have been with some of the photographs and ideas they come up with. Take a look at some of their amazing work.
Wow! What a lovely morning we had getting muddy down at Thorne Community Woods! The Y6s took some AMAZING photographs has part of our photography case study ans we can’t wait for you to see them!
Here is a sneak preview of the children taking their snapshots! Can you spot which angles they are using?
Don’t forget to click on the pictures to make them bigger!
……..take some amazing photographs!
Yesterday year 6 took their photography skills to the woods. They captured different images focusing on perspective, framing and varied angles. We are looking forward to collating their images and ‘showing them off’!
Which images will be published in our year 5/6 book?
This afternoon whilst working on our photography skills we were interrupted at times by the rain! We were desperate for a rainbow to fill the sky but sadly we were out of look! However, did you all see the beautiful rainbow this evening? As I looked through the window, I wondered if you had seen it then I received this from Aiden!!!
Well done for capturing this Aiden – I would say this is the best type of homework, work that you complete because you are inspired to do so yourself!
A massive shout out to you – 20 work hard and 20 get smart points for you!
I was very impressed with the photography that took place in Years 5 and 6 during our hook week after Easter. Today we started case study 2 – art / photography, and the work that the Year 6 children have produced hasn’t disappointed!
We began by recapping the different angles and techniques that can be used when taking the perfect photograph. We then completed a silent discussion to critique emotive images that were taken during the pandemic to capture emotions that people were experiencing.
The children then spent time recreating some of the images focusing on the angles, the mood and the effects of the photograph.
I can’t wait to see their work progress over the next few weeks and what they capture to be published in our Year 5/6 book. Well done all!
During our photography lesson today, Y6 looked at some of the influential photographs taken during the pandemic. The children tried to recreate these photographs using their environment and they then edited the pictures to try and portray different emotions and moods.
Watch out for the upcoming video of the photographs that the Year 6’s captured using iPads!
I have been blown away by the writing the children in Crew Overson have been working on with Mrs Gutteridge over the past three weeks. I can not wait to read the final drafts and even see some of them published in our Year 5/6 book!
All of the children worked so hard to edit and improve their work today and also spent time giving each other kind, helpful and specific feedback and critique to support with the improvement process!
I was proud of you all today!
Last week, the Year 5 and 6 children took part in a phase-wide debate around whether or not a national lockdown was the right thing to do, with Year 5 students taking one side and the Year 6 students taking the other.
The debate went on for 45 minutes before time unfortunately ran out, with students on both sides still eager to put their point of view across. There were some brilliant points argued on both sides with students showing fantastic confidence to be able to stand up and speak across the hall. All of the staff members who attended the debate were blown away by the quality and thought put into each of the points. Not only that, we were all really impressed by the way in which students sat and listened to all of the arguments without shouting out and interrupting one another. A massive well done to all involved!
