Exploring Nature, Moon Phases, and Stained Glass: A Creative Week in Tim Peake Class

Mrs Bushell • February 7, 2025

This week, Year 3 have been exploring their creative side through a range of exciting activities that encouraged collaboration, problem-solving and artistic expression.

Inspired by the work of Andy Goldsworthy, they ventured outdoors to collect natural materials and used them to create stunning temporary artworks, appreciating the beauty of nature and the concept of impermanence


To celebrate Saint Blaise Day on 3rd February, the children worked together to make beautiful stained-glass windows depicting his symbol of crossed candles.

The whole school have been producing artwork as part of a P.E.A.C.H. (Partnership for Education, Attainment and Children's Health) Art Competition.  The theme is CHANGE and Tim Peake Class kept with their class space connection and looked to the night sky, carefully painting the phases of the moon to deepen their understanding of the changes in the lunar cycle. 

Throughout the week, the children demonstrated fantastic teamwork, sharing ideas, supporting one another and taking pride in their collective achievements. It has been wonderful to see their creativity flourish, and we are all looking forward to more exciting projects ahead!


And on a final note… they’re even creative on skateboards!
