Reception children E-ACT Nechells Academy have been using a range of different papers in order to create imagery that will allow light to pass through. The project has involved shape-making, colour-mixing and flower-growing!

Year 1 children PercyShurmerAcademy have been exploring sculpture. Using clay to build abstract forms and dripping paint and glue to create colour. These will become part of the annual exhibition in the school art gallery in July.

Year 2’s magnificent felt sculptures are complete and now displayed in their very own cloche in the art gallery E-ACT Nechells Academy. Each sculpture contains handmade felt formed into leaves, stems, flowers, berries and plant pots.

Year 5’s beautiful sculptures have been installed alongside Year 3’s superb screenprints this morning, creating a new exhibition space on the stairwell outside the Y3 & 5 classrooms PercyShurmerAcademy

Year 3’s amazing mixed media volcano artwork has been mounted and is ready for display in the school art gallery E-ACT Nechells Academy next week. Looking forward to seeing them being exhibited alongside other children’s fabulous work!

Very proud to get a mention in a recent Ofsted report at one of my schools following an inspection last month.

Year 2’s fantastic felted wheels can now spin, manually. The children Lea Forest Primary Academy have worked really hard to find ways for their artwork to revolve, bringing in card and foam board to strengthen and enable movement. Hats off to the young artists!

Year 2 children have made an amazing start to their project Lea Forest Primary Academy today. They have produced felt, by hand, that we’ll be using next week to create moving wheels and axles artwork. I’m certainly looking forward to seeing how this work develops…
