Maths Meets Art

This Maths Day, our Year 5 and 6 students put their creativity to the test by transforming angles into imaginative creatures! Using their knowledge of geometry, they designed everything from futuristic robots and quirky aliens to familiar characters and even Pokémon. Can you spot any that look familiar?

The activity wasn’t just fun—it was a fantastic chance to explore artistic techniques. Students experimented with symmetry, proportion, and pattern to bring their angled creatures to life. Many layered shapes to create depth, while others used bold lines and vibrant colour combinations to emphasise different parts of their designs. The project encouraged careful precision and inventive thinking, showing that maths and art are a perfect pairing.

The results were incredible—a gallery of creatures that highlights both mathematical understanding and artistic flair. Our young artists certainly proved that angles aren’t just for equations—they can be the building blocks of creativity!

Sarah Shiundu 

Year 3 and Year 4 pupils have been exploring the vibrant artwork of Sarah Shiundu as part of their Kenya topic. They have studied her distinctive style and learnt how artists use colour, texture and pattern to bring landscapes to life. Using a combination of media, including pastels, material collage and paint washes for their backgrounds, the children have created their own African-inspired scenes, carefully mimicking Shiundu’s techniques. This mixed-media approach has helped pupils to develop confidence in experimenting with materials while producing bold and expressive artwork that celebrates both creativity and cultural learning.

Classroom Names

We’re excited to share that our school has adopted new classroom names based on local wildlife! To celebrate this change, each class has been doing an art project. The students have produced beautiful work inspired by an artist they’ve been learning about. Next time you're in school, be sure to check out the amazing displays! You can also follow the link to explore more.

Creative Collaboration

This vibrant artwork was created collaboratively by Year 5/6 students as part of an extra art opportunity. Each pupil designed and completed their own unique section, drawing inspiration from patterns, colour, and symmetry to create imaginative and expressive pieces. Using a range of materials such as coloured pencils, pens, and pastels, the children explored shape, line, and detail in creative and personal ways. When brought together, their individual squares formed a stunning and cohesive shared artwork that celebrates teamwork, creativity, and the joy of making art together. The finished display is a colourful testament to their artistic effort and imagination and is proudly displayed in our school corridor!

Celebrating Book Week

To celebrate Book Week, some of our students have been exploring the magic of poetry through art! One group of students, focused on poetry found within fiction books—such as The Hobbit and Through the Looking-Glass. They have then brought the words to life through imaginative illustrations. Their artwork captures the vivid imagery painted by the poems, transforming words into stunning visuals. We’d love to see your creativity too! If you have a favourite poem or an original piece you'd like to illustrate, send it in—we’d be thrilled to feature more wonderful poetry-inspired art here on our website!

Facing Fears Through Art

A student has used her creativity to help overcome a fear, transforming anxiety into inspiration. Her artwork celebrates growth, resilience, and the healing power of art. Well done!

Year 5/6 and their Brilliant Batik 

At HCCPs we encourage the children to learn about a wide variety of art styles from different cultures. This year, Year 5/6 have been learning about Batik as part of their passage to India topic. This is a process of pouring wax onto fabric to reveal detailed, bold designs after adding dye.  However, some students have used their artwork to create these stunning cushions!
