Baptism

Years 1 and 2 visited Fressingfield Baptist Church this morning to find out about baptism. We learnt that baptism is a commitment to Jesus and shows a belonging to the community of the church. Pastor Stuart then showed us how the floor moves away to reveal the special pool beneath!

Turner Prize-winning Artist Chris Ofili

Children in Amazon Class have been learning about the Turner Prize-winning Artist Chris Ofili and his artwork. Inspired by his West African heritage, the artist created his famous work, named Afrodizzia. In fact, he made several copies of this abstract work. Unlike Chris Ofili, we did NOT use elephant dung in our paintings, but built up layers using oil pastels and thick poster paint. We have tried to show the energy of Ofili’s work in our own pieces – and, as you can see, have done a pretty good job!
