After the recent Netflix programme Adolescence it was apparent how children use emojis to have full conversations with each other, without adults being aware of what is being said. Please see a number of posters that highlight the meanings behind them. Please understand that context matters and that the meaning of the emoji can vary based on the conversation. It is essential to consider the surrounding text, previous messages and relationships between the people communicating.

Lesson 3 🎨✨ Using everyday objects as 3D art 🎨✨ Inspired by creative pieces like the Alligator Banquet Armchair and Composition-Turtle and Ladder, we worked in groups to transform classroom items by adding surprises, rearranging them, and thinking BIG! 🤯 After creating our installations, we shared our masterpieces and discussed the ideas behind them. It was a fun and inspiring way to show that art is everywhere! 🖼️🙌

Lesson 2 🎨✨ Exploring Installation in Year 5 Art ✨🎨 This term, our Year 5 students took on the exciting challenge of creating their own installation art models! Inspired by the work of Cai Guo-Qiang, they explored how scale and space transform artwork. Working in teams, they designed stencils, experimented with different materials, and used creative techniques to produce mini explosion-effect installations inside cardboard boxes. The results were incredible! 🔥💡 Through this hands-on project, the children developed their teamwork, problem-solving, and artistic skills, all while having so much fun! Check out their amazing work and creativity! 🌟👏

Water Resistance – 🚀💦 How Does Water Resistance Affect Movement? 🌊🔬 Our young scientists took the plunge into an exciting investigation! They explored how water resistance affects the movement of different shapes through water. Using plasticine, they moulded and tested a cone, cube, cylinder, and sphere, timing how quickly each shape sank. What did they discover? Shapes with streamlined designs, like the cone and sphere, moved faster through water, while blockier shapes, like the cube, faced more resistance and sank slower. 🌟 This hands-on experiment helped them understand how water resistance slows objects down—just like how fish and submarines are designed to glide smoothly through water! It’s been an amazing term of scientific discovery and problem-solving!
