Year 5 Learning
Hazel Class is learning how to write myth in English. We are studying Beowulf, which links with our history topic on The Vikings.
Art is a very much loved subject here at DKH and this is evident as soon as you enter the school grounds with artwork displayed in the playgrounds and throughout the school building. Art topics are explored all through the school year but are particularly studied during our annual Arts’ Week and Arts’ Evening in June.
Art, craft and design embody some of the highest forms of human creativity. Our art and design curriculum aims to engage, inspire and challenge children, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design.
Once again, much of our art and design links to termly topic themes whether it be sketching then creating poppies linked to WWII, pottery linked to the Stone Age or making Viking boats to sail on the Thames. Living so close to Dulwich Picture Gallery and the many museums in London, we take every opportunity to make the most of our locality.
