Year 3/4 - Hazel Class

Hazel class started the year by drawing portraits of themselves in the style of Andy Warhol and using his Pop Art colours. They used a black and white photograph of themselves to work from, drawing their outline on the tile in felt tip pen. Using contrasting colours, they then painted themselves in the Pop art style.

During our History topic on the Ancient Egyptians, Hazel class looked at heiroglypics (Ancient Egyptian writing) and wrote their name in a cartouche. A cartouche is frame (oval shape with a lined base) which the royalty in Ancient Egypt would have their name engraved. Can you use the key to find out who has written their names from Hazel class?

This week, Wednesday 22nd January, Hazel class have been experimenting with different painting techniques. They used paint brushes, sponges, cotton buds and glue spatulas and lolly sticks. They will then use those techniques for their end of unit still life artwork. 

In writing, Hazel class have started to write up their non-chronological reports about the Amazon River. They have done lots of research and planning and are going to include lots of features to entice the reader the enjoy learning all about this fascinating river. Here are some front covers to get you interested.
