Art

4th October 2022M Hanratty

Art, craft and design embody some of the highest forms of human creativity. A high-quality art and design education should engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. At Marsden Primary School, we value Art and Design as an important part of the children’s entitlement to a broad and balanced curriculum. The use of Kapow Primary’s Art and design scheme of work will provide children with the opportunities to develop and extend skills and an opportunity to express their individual interests, thought and ideas. As pupils progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design. They should also know how art and design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.

Banksy Inspired Art Y5

6th March 2025M Hanratty

Last half term, Y5 studied the artist Banksy with Mrs Potter and how art can deliver a message. Using his work as inspiration the children created their own piece art to embody our school motto “Everyone Cares, Everyone Matters”. They each designed an under the sea character promoting inclusion and diversity.
Well done Y5 and Mrs Potter!

Let’s Celebrate Holi

14th March 2023M Hanratty

EYFS are always eager to learn new information about the world, especially if it involves a celebration! Last week, we talked all about the Hindu festival Holi which is also called the “Festival of Colour”.

Traditionally, people throw coloured powder at each other however we decided to use a clever piece of technology called Sphero to help us spread colour. First, we squirted different coloured paint on a large white sheet. Then we made Sphero move by controlling a blue spot on the app.

We loved our final Holi masterpiece!

Stone Age Day

16th February 2023S Stothard

Today Year 3 Had a brilliant Stone Age Day. The children all looked fantastic and we had lots of fun. We started our day by crawling through a cave and sitting around a campfire in the classroom.

We then became archaeologists and  found some fantastic fossils hidden in the soil. Next we created charcoal cave drawings under the desks as if we were lying in our very own cave.

This afternoon we made Stone Age biscuits and fruit stew and can’t wait to try them!

Finally we hunted for food, some of us even caught a rabbit!
