The children were challenged to use and apply a wide variety of skills. They were grouped vertically to that the older children could help the younger ones. • Using evergreens willow hoops and ribbons to make garlands and kissing boughs • Making and decorating Christmas crackers • Making fashionable Victorian faces • Making dolly peg angel and Father Christmas hanging tree decorations • Decorating and threading wooden beads on ribbons for the tree • Making and baking salt-dough wreathe tree decorations • Threading pop-corn and cranberry garlands for the tree • Tying bundles of cinnamon sticks to hang on the tree
Second Whole School Art Day The Andy Goldsworthy Landscape Art Day As follow-up to their visit to the Henry Moore Foundation as part of their Art Topic of Sculpture in the Environment, Class 2 once again led another whole school art day. CJ Mahony, a talented young sculptor from Cambridge came to give further inspiration and practical help. This time the school was divided into 3 vertical groups for the three activities. • Working collaboratively with CJ on the large Andy Goldsworthy Sculpture • Working in pairs, with a ‘Buddy’ on a Collage Landscape • Weaving on a branch loom to create an individual piece of art
