How we express ourselves

Central Idea: 

People express ideas and feelings through different forms of art.

“Expressing Ourselves Through Sculpture”

Mr Concagh showed students a sculpture by Michelangelo and then asked them to compare it with the work of the Modern Sculptor Henry Moore. They noticed that Moore´s sculptures had holes in them. After talking to students about why Moore would put holes in his sculptures they began to use special clay tools to carve out the clay. Students worked in groups and used the figure to help them make their final piece.

PYP 7 visit to PYP3

One of the ways we can express ourselves is through poetry and we had the pleasure of welcoming PYP7 to recite poems, showing us how the body moves can add a lot to the words uttered by their mouths. It was amazing!

They were delighted by the awesome presentations of 

poems such as:

Eletelephony 

Laura Elizabeth Richards

Once there was an elephant,

Who tried to use the telephant—

No! No! I mean an elephone

(Dear me! I am not certain quite

Who tried to use the telephone—

Howe’er it was, he got his trunk

That even now I’ve got it right.)
Entangled in the telephunk;

(I fear I’d better drop the song
The more he tried to get it free,
The louder buzzed the telephee—

Of elephop and telephong!)

We are sure that none of our little investigators will be 

the same after they have lived so many discoveries 

in the wonderful world of Art! 

Stay tunned for more discoveries soon!
