Hirst Wood on the Nile
Saltaire Primary School Year 4 have been working on an Egyptian
topic, learning about the life and culture of the Egyptians and the
discovery of the various tombs.
In art, they looked particularly at the Egyptian Gods and
Goddesses. They made drawings of animals and sculptures, then
developed these into sculptures using card, card tubes, papier
mache and acrylic paint.
The children worked in groups, discussing their designs & ways to
develop their ideas into 3D sculptures.
We are very proud of the way they worked together using their
knowledge of the Egyptians to make such original, imaginative
pieces.
Just before Christmas the artwork went on show at Hirst Wood
Nature Reserve, especially decorated and marked out by fairy
lights for a Mythical Creatures evening.
Children followed a trail of hieroglyphics to solve a puzzle...they
also looked for & discovered their sculptures hidden in the
reserve, using torches.
