Kingsbury Green Primary School

This term in Art Enrichment club, some of our Year 1, 2 and 3 children from Kingsbury Green Primary school have taken part in the Wemba’s Dream project. Our theme was ‘A Journey in the natural world.’ The children watched clips on birds and insects in motion and drew abstract lines and patterns to represent their movement. Then the children chose a section of their drawing and painted this onto a calico strip. Finally they created a poly block tile of their moving creature and printed this in a repeat design over the top.

Students ranging from years 1 to 6 at Kingsbury Green Primary School engaged in an enriching exploration of Sonia Boyce's artwork, delving into the concept of mutual support. Subsequently, we actively engaged with the impactful song 'I'm Gonna Lift My Sister Up', fostering insightful conversations regarding its alignment with our recently established school values of Character and Empathy. Through dedicated instruction, all students acquired the ability to sing the song proficiently while incorporating harmonies, culminating in remarkable performances by Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 students. Moreover, the children seamlessly connected the themes of this empowering song with the song ‘You Called, We Came’ which was learnt in preparation for Windrush Day, which depicted the support offered by individuals from the Caribbean who journeyed to England during the Windrush era.
