Year 3 have very cleverly tried to imagine what a view from above would be like. The children imagined they were flying in a hot air balloon looking out over the basket. They tried to paint what they thought the countryside would look like.
Their finished paintings are FANTASTIC! Well done Year 3!
The children in Year 5 have used pastels to create the background for their balloon scenes. Then using black paper they cut out a silhouette of a hot air balloon.
Well done Year 5!
Year 4 rehearsed their weaving skills whilst weaving some hot air balloon baskets.
The children then made a hot air balloon to hang from their ceiling. Well done Year 4.
The children in Year 6 have worked very hard to make their own hot air balloon paintings. They began by painting a sunset sky backdrop. Following this, the children then painted a silhouette skyline of Newcastle and Gateshead landmarks. They then added their hot air balloons. The children were very proud of their completed art work.
Well done Year 6!
The children in England have worked hard to write their very own balloon story.
The youngest children (age 4) began the story by introducing the characters and setting the scene; two you children named Daisy and Simon go to school one morning and spot a hot air balloon in the playground. They climb in …… and the adventure begins.
Each class in school then took Daisy and Simon on an adventure around the north east of England visiting many different landmarks.
The children thoroughly enjoyed listening to the story all the way during an assmebly.
