Ms. Clare’s 4th & 5th class have been busy learning about the difference between warm and cool colours in Art.
The warm colours, such as red, yellow and orange, evoke warmth as they remind us of things like the sun or the fire.
The cool colours, such as green, blue and purple evoke a cool feeling because they remind us of things like water or grass.
The children used Christmas themed stencils to create their drawings and used their knowledge of warm and cool colours to paint their pictures. Look at how great they turned out!
4 th class have spent the year in St Mary’s Hall. They thought it a good idea to find out a little bit more about this important building in our parish and to share what they learned with their school mates.
