Welcome to Year 1/2 Spring 24-25
Art: Tangrams
This half term in Art, we are looking at sculptures. We began the lesson by looking at examples of Antony Gormley’s work. As we looked at the sculptures, we considered what we thought it was made of, where it might be located, and why it looks the way it does. Antony Gormley creates sculptures of the human form, so we were then challenged to make a human form using tangram pieces. We looked at how artists make realistic sketches of the human form by combining simple shapes such as spheres and cylinders or posing mannequins in different positions. We then stuck the Tangram pieces together to create human form.
Music: Playing the Ocarina
This term, in Music, we are learning how to play the ocarina. We have started by learning about how to hold the instrument correctly, how to play long notes and short notes which in Music are called 'crotchets' and 'quavers'. We have begun learning the note C and learning how to read this musical note on a stave.
