On Tuesday 7th July, Miss Watson took on the role of artist in residence at Oasis Blakenhale Primary school. The three classes of Year 5 students got to benefit from the artistic expertise by experiencing a workshop in collage.

 

The visit was a continuation of the King Edward VI Foundations’ work on fostering links between primary and secondary schools. 

The children got to further develop their prior learning and experience of real and visual texture by creating an animal collage using different types of paper, chalk pastels and paint. 

 

As you can see from the photos of the sessions, the children enjoyed the experience of developing their skills of collage. 

We look forward to carrying on making links with a range of primary schools in our area and giving students a taste of what secondary school is like in preparation for making school choices in Year 6.
