Year 6
Laura Stephenson – Teacher, Taria Crosby – Teaching Assistant
Year 6 were learning the drawing skills of hatching, cross hatching, stippling and ink wash then making their work lighter or darker using these techniques. They then used different mediums to create textures using poster paint and water colours together with cotton wool, tissue paper, sponges and a washing up brush! Im sure you agree, they are learning lots of skills. #dcpslion #DCPStiger #dcpsart #dcpscore
This week, Year 6 have enjoyed a virtual author visit with Ross Mackenzie who is the author of The Nowhere Emporium and Shadowsmith. This was part of the Northern Children’s Book Festival. We were able to listen to him talk about his childhood and what inspired him to become an author as well as his career as an award winning author. He read us some of his book and then gave us the opportunity to ask him some questions about his books and his career. It was a great session and we are all excited to read some more of his work.

Over the last 2 weeks, Year 6 Tigers have had a fantastic time with NUFC and their Commando Joe lessons. With their focus being Amelia Earhart and her advances in relation to flight and air travel, they have been planning and building their own plane and thinking about how they can work together to create the best structure.
