Year 5&6

An Army Visit!

We had some army visitors for the day!  We really had to use all our teamwork and communication skills in some of the challenges they set us.

Painting the Sistine Chapel

We investigated images from the ceiling  of the Sistine Chapel, painted by Michelangelo.  Then we used the Book of Genesis to inspire our own art—and painted upside down!

It was really tricky!  Our arms were tired and we got quite a bit of paint in our hair!

Ten Pieces Inspiration Day

On Wednesday this week Y5/6 went to the Early Music Centre for a Ten Pieces Inspiration Day. We had a fantastic time listening to music played live by the York St John Concert Band, watching the Ten Pieces film and taking part in a body percussion workshop! Some children were able to sit in with the band whilst they were playing, it did get quite loud but it was great fun!

Ask any of our Y5/6 children to show you their moves from Stomp!

We even made it on to the York Press website with photos and a video!
