Year 3 have been doing some excellent work about Ancient Egypt. Click on the pyramid to see some of it. This work has been compiled by Simon Ricketts, a 3rd year student from King Alfred's College, Winchester.

Year 3's summer term technology was to build a buggy.

Another of the art topics Year 3 did was to look at the pattern leaves make through the trees and to try to recreate this using tissue paper.

Year 4's topics this year have been Rainforests, Invaders and Settlers and the Local Environment.

Shoebox art

Here is some environmental art in the style of the artist. These pictures were all constructed in natural materials found in the school grounds. Andy Goldsworthy only uses natural materials which must be dead or have fallen from the plant. As you can see, the children had great fun making all kinds of things, such as a snail and a bird's nest, complete with bird!

As part of Year 4s geography topic this year, we made a study of the local river, the Anton. In past years we have been able to go further afield, but the foot and mouth crisis stopped us leaving the local area for our studies. Here are some pictures of the river.

Year 5's topics have been the Victorians, Ancient Greece and Environmental Change

Here are some of the photographs they have been studying in the environmental Change topic. As you can see there is a new housing estate being built near the school. The last photograph is a view of the nearby site where the local secondary school is being built. It is expected to open to pupils in September 2002. All of these photographs were taken by year 5 children using a digital camera.

Year 6 have studied the Earth and Space, the Tudors and river study including a visit to Southampton.

One of the artists they have been studying is Kandinsky. They have tried to create pictures in his style using a computer.

Year 6 also paid a visit to Southampton as part of a study of the local rivers. While they were there they made some sketches of the area, including these of the Bargate.
