Year 5 enjoy an exciting punctuation afternoon! On Monday, our Year 5 pupils joined a live stream of 'The Punctuation Show' with Barrie McDermid! They explored colons, commas, and lots of other punctuation through fun quizzes, catchy songs, and energetic actions. There was laughter, learning, and plenty of participation - fun had by all! #GreatParkAcademy #PunctuationShow #LearningIsFun #EnglishSkills #gosforthgroup #creatingfutures #punctuationshow

YEAR 10 ART UPDATE Our Year 10 students have been working incredibly hard on their artist research, laying the foundations before they begin developing ideas for their final outcomes. They've shown a strong understanding of their chosen artists, thoughtfully exploring techniques, themes and visual styles, and many have done an amazing job capturing the essence of their artists' work within their studies. We're excited to see how this research inspires their next steps as they move into the creative development stage. Fantastic effort, Year 10! #GreatParkAcademy #greatparkacademyart #gosforthgroup #creatingfutures

YEAR 7 ART SPOTLIGHT Our Year 7 students have been getting creative with ink exploration, using fingerprint patterns as the starting point for their Identity project. They've produced some fantastic experimental pieces, and these early studies will soon be developed into abstract artworks that represent their own unique identities. We can't wait to see how their ideas evolve - amazing work so far, Year 7! #GreatParkAcademy #greatparkacademyart #gosforthgroup #creatingfutures #studentartwork

We're so impressed with the incredible work from Helen T in Year 10 this week! She's created this fantastic frog inspired by the style of artist Allison Kunath, and it looks amazing. Helen has beautifully captured Kunath's signature use of layered colour and geometric line detailing, bringing real vibrancy and character to her piece. Outstanding creativity and skill on display - well done, Helen! #GreatParkAcademy #gosforthgroup #creatingfutures #greatparkacademyart #ProudMoment
