Art Club - Zentangle Art

31/3/2020

1 Comment

 
Hello Year 4, 
As some of you will know, Miss Medley and Mrs Mayoh ran an Art Club after school, but sadly this had to stop after only 2 weeks of running due to us closing school. However, they have been in touch and thought it would be a great idea to add it to our blog so you could continue at home! This is for everyone not just those that attend. 
The Art Club focused on Zentangle Art. 
The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. We call these patterns, tangles. ... Zentangle art is non-representational and unplanned so you can focus on each stroke and not worry about the result.
We would love it if some of you gave it a go at home! Even I (Miss Bell) is going to give it a go- it seems very relaxing! Below are some examples of what you could try or why not start by drawing around your hand and filling it in with patterns - this video shows you how! 
Please send in your creations. I know Miss Medley and Mrs Mayoh would love to see them!

Hello Year 4
If you have  been working with Mrs Martin whilst being in Year 4, this  speech, language and communication challenge is just for you!
Your challenge is to play the  'Vocabulary Game' with your family.
The game  will strengthen your vocabulary, memory, attention and listening skills.
How to play the game!
Start with set 1 (Print off the cards or  copy the  instructions onto paper squares).
Cut out the cards and place them in a 'no peeking'  bag (plastic bag).
Each person , in turn, takes out a card and follows the instruction.
If you are unable to do the task, put the card back into the bag.
Continue in this way till all the cards have gone.
The winner is the person  with the most cards.
Play  set 2 on Tuesday, set 3 on Wednesday and set 4 on Thursday.
On Friday put all the cards in the 'no peeking' bag.
Have fun!
​Mrs Martin

This morning, I woke up   to the sound of my annoying alarm as the sun shone through the crack in the curtains. I yawned as I shuffled out of bed and  began stretching.

So here it is. The part where we get to share the amazing pictures you’ve been sending in. It has been great to see what you have been up to this past week. It’s clear to see that you have been working hard but we want to see more! I (Miss Bell) have been making the most of this beautiful weather and making sure I take my dog, Belle, out on long walks- I even came across some Deer in the woods! I’ve also been planting some flowers in my hanging baskets to make my garden look pretty and bright! Miss Lashmar has been folding her towels into animals! Can you guess which animals she has made?

We hope you all have a lovely, restful weekend and spend lots of time in the sun! See you all back here on Monday morning.

Miss Bell and Miss Lashmar
