Year 5 have been busy making more artwork including Rosie whose enchanting Caribbean dancers are inspired by Bernard Hoyes – you can almost hear the music!
In this Monday’s assembly Mr Adorian laid down some beats and set challenge for our pupils to create their own lockdown rap, song or poem and our pupils stepped up to the mic.
We have been amazed and entertained by all your entries, such a talented bunch of artists. Well done!
Tivvy created this beautiful pastel drawing of Caribbean dancers in the style of Bernard Hoyes.
The movement is incredible!
Daniel created this stunning piece of abstract art inspired by our Volcano topic. It is so vibrant and explosive!
Dylan has been putting his artistic skills into practise with this beautiful seabird painting.
Emily has been experimenting with tie dye. Looking cool!
Our children based in school have been busy this week creating some Easter masterpieces.
The children have also created some lovely cards and artwork for the staff and patients in Ward 14 at Bournemouth Hospital to enjoy. Patients cannot currently have visitors and so these works of art have brightened their day.
Many of our families have been working out with Joe Wicks each morning at home and our children in school have been doing the same.
We’ve really enjoyed seeing what our pupils have been learning at home. If you have something to share then we’d love to see. Please email our school office office@cjsdorset.org

This years Arts Week pupils created their own Sketchbooks. They used these Sketchbooks to record their ideas, thoughts and inspirations. These pages led to a final piece.
In Year 3 the stimulus was the book: ‘Leon and the Place Between’. This theme was developed through choice of colours and patterns and the activities found at a circus! Our final pieces were mini circuses and hanging acrobats!
Last Thursday, Year 5 enjoyed an action packed and at times emotional portrayal of Michael Morpurgo’s War Horse at the Mayflower Theatre, Southampton . The performance – which was adapted from the famous author’s novel- took the children on a journey through life during WWI from the perspective of a young farm-boy, Albert, and his beloved horse, Joey.
Below is a review written by the children on their return:
We enjoyed watching War Horse as it was full of action packed scenes and emotional events. It began with a hard to follow beginning, but as it got further in it was understandable and exciting. It taught us about the hardships of war and how difficult it was to live in those times. The story was about a boy called Albert and his loyal horse, Joey as they ventured to find each other through WW1. At times you forgot that the horses were puppets as they were so lifelike and realistic. Sometimes you felt as if you were actually there in the war. It was very moving throughout the play and had a happy ending. Every so often, there would be a gunshot that made us all jump out of our seats and the person that the gun was aimed at fell to the ground in agony. Overall, war horse was a brilliant and thrilling play that left us all in awe. We would definitely recommend this play to anyone looking for adventure!
