Home-School Projects
Pompeii - Extreme Earth
This volcano was created by a Billie and her mum - each step of this project is documented in the A3 booklet above! It is over a metre tall and 50cm wide!
Kurt worked hard in partnership with his mum to build this imaginative Wonka World! They created the structure from cardboard and used many art and craft materials and tools to bring a magical feel to the design.
Bobby and his mum painted this beautiful picture using acrylic paints on canvas. They started by leaving a small, white circle as the moon and then mixed dark and light colours to create the sky and sea shadows. When the background was dry, they carefully painted the pirate ship in black and white.

Anais and her mum painted and shaped this old shoe box into a pirate ship! They used bamboo sticks for the mast, string around cardboard for the plank and a piece of material for the sail! Using materials such as blue tack and glue to secure the joins, they created a sturdy, strong structure. Well done!
|
This pirate ship was created by a pupil, and his dad - they used an old toy to form the base of the boat and bought bamboo sticks. They also used art and craft techniques such as paper-mache to shape the boat. An effective design!

Alfie and his parents designed this pirate ship using a range of resources: milk cartons, pipe cleaner, card boxes, yogurt pots and kitchen rolls. They used tools such as a screw driver and painted, glued and cut. Great design-skills!
|
Dinosaurs
Ruby and her mum created these dinosaur feet using ridged cardboard to create the scaly effect. Together, they painted the feet marble colours to look like dinosaur skin and attached velcro for straps so she can wear them!
|
Billy worked with his mum to create this detailed, rustic pirate ship! They painted the cardboard ship and the cut-out anchor and flag, used sticks for the rigging and made the sails billow. Finally, they filled the treasure chest up with jewels and left the key!
|
William and his dad designed these delicate sea creatures using different shells and rocks from the beach. Well done - a lovely beach scene.
|
Isla created this beautiful under-water scene with her mum. They mixed the paint colours to create the deep blue ocean and used glue which dried clear. They visited the beach to collect lots of shells, seaweed and pebbles. Isla gave herself a challenge and tried to spell the words on her own and looked up the descriptions.

Charlie worked with her mum to make this rocket (right) out of a tube, foil, cardboard, tissue paper and paper.
Daisy designed this rocket (left) from a recycled coke bottle, spray paint for the window, and a personalised name! |
Out of this World!
Sophie and her mum created this rocket from a glue gun tube! This was covered in foil and tissue paper added to the base to create flames. Foam letters formed the rocket name 'Sophie'. Card slots were also added to the base to secure it. The final touches included warning tape!
|
Ethan and his dad created this super rocket using many designer key skills; they measured different diameters for the discs and used the laser cutter to cut these and to plain the rectangular discs on the base. Red and silver spray paint were used to spray the rocket with masking tape. |
Kian worked with his Grandad to bring this rainforest bird to life! Kian helped to stuff the material and draw the black lines on carefully, measuring the distance between them and keep them straight. Great teamwork!
Minibeasts
Hayden created this mini-beast habitat out of a shoe box and filled it with colourful creatures. He also made a scrap book information book - well done Hayden!
