Essential Information

Art, Design & Technology

Art

Art, Design & Technology Children demonstrate their creative skills through the use of a wide range of materials, including painting, model making, printing, pottery and sewing. Pictures, paintings and models form an integral part of all topics. Children also learn to use computer art programmes. The autumn and spring terms feature themed weeks during which the children will meet guest speakers, artists and performers, take part in visits and join in with a range of activities. Visits to local art galleries and exhibitions are arranged.

Design

Art, Design & Technology Children are encouraged to use their imaginations to the fullest whether involved in junk modelling, creating simple electronic circuits or using a computer design programme. There are plenty of cross-curricular opportunities for design work and the work of important historical and current designers, in all fields, are studied.

Technology

Technology is taught using a hands-on approach, involving children in using everyday and specialist technology equipment, and understanding the place of technology in today’s world. Practical experimentation is included in cross-curricular topic work, ensuring that children are aware of the many applications of technology. Visits to INTECH Science and Technology Centre and the Chichester Planetarium form an important part of the teaching of this subject.

Music

Music Children take part in singing, and learn poems, songs and rhymes by heart, both in assemblies, whole school hymn practices and school singing and drama lessons. They learn to participate in pantomimes, sing in harmony and take different parts. Weekly class lessons include the use of a range of percussion instruments, linked to the Music Express programme. Year 2 learn to play the recorder. Private piano lessons are available, and there is an annual school concert in the summer term. Glenhurst School is part of the local initiative, Music Fusion, from which children learn to participate in innovative rhythm, keep a beat and learn simple compositional techniques.
