Lowry - Whole school display

Lost In Lowry

With help from my colleagues at my previous school we created a whole school Eisteddfod display inspired by Lowry. There were lots of elements to this, which created an excellent atmospheric display.

People - One year group made pipe cleaner people, cats and dogs. They also made clothing and accessories to go on them! Brilliant and fitted in to the Victorian topics.

Pastels - Many of the classes made pastel drawings inspired by Lowry's industrial scenes.

Buildings - many of the younger classes made 3d buildings using old cardboard boxes.

Chimneys  - My class and I made 2 large chimneys to help create the 'feel' and set off the scene.
These were my favourite - 2 dustbins with painted cardboard tall thin boxes inside and the stuck (with all methods of sticking/stapling/gluing/taping) the painted wadding on the the pipes and wire. I had some spare brick wall table cloths to use on the base.

We then painstakingly suspended many of the characters (with my amazing assistant Mrs L - a true star!) using string from the very high ceiling, we wanted a truly 3 dimensional outcome.
Enjoy!

The Water Cycle

Hello! 

Below is the beginnings of my Water Cycle display. I wanted it to be a slightly basic display so I could add the children's work to it as the topic progressed. I really believe in evolving displays with the children. Well ...some of them. 

I used packing material to create the mountain with a touch a 'magical' snow spray at the higher ledges. Draping material for the rest, cotton wool clouds hung from the ceiling with jewels to look like rain and i cut out white trees from a Christmas boarder to add tot he hills. I also placed battery powered FAIRY LIGHTS under the blue viol drape so that the water sparkled!!!! My favourite part of the display as this area got quite dark sometimes, so was quite effective. 

Thanks for stopping by, more to come soon! #justabeginner #ukteacher
