June Wk 5/July Wk 1....Shuttleworth and Childwickbury Arts Festival

Kali's party
I went to one of my school friends party which was ice skating. I've only been once or twice and I always fell over lots, but I didn't fall over once this time. In between, we made loom bands. I made 4 on my fingers. We then went to Harvesters for a meal which was delicious!

Monday sports
If you saw one of my other posts I told you about a 5 hour sports thing on Monday.Well the second week we got to teach netball to the other children. It was great fun.


Charlotte here
A friend from school came over who I haven't seen for ages.We played this game we always used to play all the time. It is called vampires and fairies, apart this time we filmed it to make a movie.


Shuttleworth
I went to Shuttleworth's display of aeroplanes with cubs. I drew pictures and wrote stuff  down in my notepad. Some are over one-hundred years old. One of the aeroplanes there was used in an actual movie. One of their old motorbikes is the only one in the world.

Bailey our dog is so cute!

Childwickbury Arts Festival

This is an art festival I went to 2 years ago and this time I went with my friends. It is brilliant. It has lot's of marquees and buildings with different artists and there art to learn about. We got given a booklet to fill in then off we went to explore. Don't these scarecrows creep you out?

First we went to a felt ball making session.The person who organized it told us a story about felt and then we got started.

Wool can be very heavy and strong. This was huge and so heavy, I could barely pass it to the person next to me.

 This is my ball of felt wool that I made.

 After that I met up with my friends and we looked at the artists. They were by a guy called Gerard who made sculptures out of every day objects like brooms, chains etc.

Here is one of Gerard's scultures.

Here are some of my friends. :-)

My sister loved this artist Sam Peacock and wants to have a go but in involves fire, sandblasting, a blow torch, food, steel etc. His pictures are very cool.

 This is one of Christian Funnells constructions made from metal work. They are amazing.

 This artist used spray paints.

This is Anja Penger-Onyett who makes ceramics and paints them in metalized glaze which produces different effects in the kiln.

This is a pot by the Eeles family. The affect is amazing and looks fragile but its on ceramics so isn't very fragile really. The affect is made using copper oxide glaze and dipping the pot into an open fire.

This artist used water colour to create images of buildings she saw in Cuba.

This is Angela Allaway who home educates and paints trees. Her work is fantastic and very detailed.She was probably my favourite artist out of them all.

This work is by Jan Gardner. She uses different
paints, layers and fabrics. Her work is very
distinctive as she uses vibrant colours.

This artist uses water colours and was really helpful in explaining his work, what type of paper to use etc. He worked layering up his work creating these amazing images like shadows of people.

We did the "Big Draw" together. There was a scene set, someone dressed up as an elf, and we had to use our imagination combining them. We all had different styles.
