Sports with Coach Julie: promoting the key components of fitness – skills, teamwork, and confidence building. From netball, handball, football and much more, they’ll develop skills, make friends, and enjoy friendly competition in a fun, safe and supportive environment
Art with Jo Miller upside-down CHIAROSCURO portraits – looking at the extreme LIGHT and SHADES when trying to recreate the face. ‘Defamiliarization’ by drawing upside down – you draws what you SEE, not what you know. CONTINUOUS LINE DRAWING making a design with brightly coloured patterned segments of the Chinese year of the snake using mixed media. Making our own STENCILS prints and inverting the image by sponging both the interior and exterior of the stencil. Heart shaped petals on spring flowers 3D paper sculptures
Music with singer Lisa Panther – Taking musical inspiration from the films, Inside Out, Wild Robot, and Better Man (rhythm section of Rock DJ) Lisa will be concentrating on rhythm this half term as well as songs including Kiss the sky, Joy etc.
20th Feb Art Workshop making a Chinese Dragon with Ruby Yang – all ages
