Enrichment lessons at Primrose Hill

Children in Key Stage Two take part in an afternoon of Enrichment lessons every week.

Enrichment lessons have been designed to enrich our curriculum teaching by providing opportunities for children to learn certain elements of some subjects in smaller groups.

Enrichment units run on a 5 or 6 weekly programme which ensures that by the end of their school year every child in every year group (from year 3-6) has taken part in every Enrichment unit.

Enrichment lessons, where possible, are planned and delivered by staff in school who have specific skills or expertise in that particular subject, for example, music enrichment lessons are planned and delivered by the music leaders. 

Enrichment in Art

Year 3 - Drawing and Sketching 

Children develop their drawing skills in order to progress towards becoming proficient in drawing. Use observations and different mediums to explore shade and colour for effect.

Year 4 - Sculpture 

They start off these enrichment lessons by visiting the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. They explore materials, sizes and different types of sculptures which is a brilliant launch for their own sculpture work in school. Pupils develop their skills in planning to create sculptures using different media. They develop their ability to apply the skills they have been taught to their independent work.

Year 5 - Printmaking

Pupils develop their art and design skills and techniques in order to progress towards becoming proficient in printmaking. They experience printmaking using a range of techniques and are encouraged to create a final printing tile, based on the technique they feel they have mastered.

Year 6 - Painting 

Pupils develop their art and design skills and techniques in order to progress towards becoming proficient in painting. They use observations and different mediums to explore textures, tones, shades and composition.
