Hoon Hay Art Exhibition

Good afternoon,

Last week we popped over to Hoon Hay to have a look at their quite stunning annual art exhibition...

It was quite stunning!

Fun Day Thursday

Good afternoon,

And a lovely afternoon it has been too. Indeed, the whole day has been grand!

Very many thanks to our wonderful parent helps - without you, we could not have gone.

Competitively Cooperative Monday

Good evening,

This morning kicked off with a bit of healthy competition...

...and continued with some jolly fine cooperation.

As well as a bit of sorting out for the next piece of R.E. learning.

An Example for Blogging About My Art Inquiry Ideas

Good morning,

This term the Batten Team are doing a weeee (or actually quite a large) Art inquiry, based on our passions.

I really love Star Wars.

There are all sorts of art ideas that I could use related to Star Wars.

• I could draw characters
• I could paint backgrounds
• I could make a building sculpture/landing pad out of boxes and stuff
• I could perform a Star Wars music piece on the guitar

I would like to create a choreographed lightsaber battle with a partner...or perform a heavy metal version of the Asteroid Chase, from Episode V.

The questions I have about this are...

• how do you do it?
• can I rotoscope online?
• what can I use for the sabers?
• what do the colours of the sabers mean?
• what costume shall I wear
• will I tell a story, or just battle?
• where can I see examples

Ryan vs Dorkman!

That will do for now,

Bye bye,

Mr Grant

Welcome Back Monday

Good evening,

Well...back to it then...

...which included viewing some rather freaky art...

Wow!

He Is Risen...

...He is risen indeed!

Good afternoon,

Today, as well as other bits and pieces...

...we began some Ressurection art, inspired by the displays in the office.

...which we will continue over the next few days.

Funday Friday

Good afternoon,

And a lovely afternoon it is.

Today we arted...

...read...

...and the choir learnt a new song.


Well, for many it was more of a re-introduction.

Good stuff!

Have a lovely weekend,

Mr Grant

30 Year Friday

Good afternoon,

As well as heading over to the church to refamiliarise ourselves with Genuflecting and such, and a bit more art...

...we joined the whole school in congratulating Miss Shaw for teaching here at OLA for 30 years. 30 years!

Wow!

So Miss Shaw had the afternoon off, and we had...well...a bit of Hatchet (everyone really seems to be getting into it) and assembly.

Overall I think it would be fair to say that we've had a great first week.

Have a nice long weekend, and we'll see you on Tuesday.

Mr Grant
