A Starry Cityscape

In Art we had a look at the piece of art 'Nocturne in Black and Gold' by James Abbott McNeill Whistler. We looked at the dark colours and mysterious gold splatters in the sky. We made our own starry pictures inspired by this piece. We used purple and blue paint on blue paper to create an evening sky and splattered on gold and silver paint. We then drew and cut out cityscapes on black card and used chalk to mark in windows to create our scene. They look amazing!

History

In Room 21, we made a 'Classroom Museum' as part of our work in History. We brought in items from the past and had a chance to talk to the class about it. It was really interesting to see what everyone brought in. Some people brought in special toys, photographs, dolls and Ms. Phelan brought in an old fashioned iron!

We also explored games from the past. We got to have a go at playing some of these games. Have a look!
