Clay Creatures, Tag Rugby Skills and Art for the Town!
A creative and active start for Year 5 with clay pets, rugby teamwork, and a community art project.
TLDR:
- Inspired by Barnabus, pupils created clay ‘failed’ pets.
- Practised Tag Rugby teamwork and communication.
- Started a community art project with Year 6.
- Shanklin Town Council introduced the project, including an ex-pupil!
- A fantastic, creative start to the year.
Our Amazing Year 5
We started our year reading Barnabus by the Fan Brothers. The children then designed their own ‘failed’ pets and drew pictures of Banabus and Stick 1. We then developed our ideas further and turned them into clay sculptures.
Tag Rugby
The children commenced their first lesson on Tag Rugby and were fantastic at drawing on their prior learning and ready to build upon this further. They worked in pairs and teams of four and six, practising passing the ball, communicating within their group and reminding themselves of the basic rules of the game.
Collaboration with Shanklin Town Council
Finally, we have been asked to work in collaboration with Year 6 to produce a piece of Art for the board in Station Avenue. This is an exciting opportunity for us as our work will be able to be seen for many years. Two members of the council came to talk to us about this and one was even an ex-pupil!
