This year, Gateway School pupils have been taking a deep dive into Claude-Joseph Vernet’s 'Shipwreck in Stormy Seas' painting with the results going on display in the school hall.
Back in February, the school's art teacher revealed this year's chosen painting to the pupils, and in the following weeks, work went into exploring the piece.
Headteacher, Mrs Bufton-Green said: “Children have used their maths, geography, art, D&T, English, French and a whole host of other curriculum skills to create some truly fabulous masterpieces.

“Each one reflects the children’s curiosities and our teachers’ expert coordination.
“The children gain so much from this fantastic project as they choose exactly what they would like to find out more about and ultimately create.
“The engagement levels were fantastic and the children were so proud to show their work to parents at the exhibition.”

The painting shows a rocky shoreline next to a violent sea storm while two ships battle the waves.
There was a range of work on show including lightboxes, green screen news reports, a top trump set and many handcrafted rats.
Also on display was a science experiment that aimed to find out the best way to preserve food for a long sea voyage.
Parents were able to look around the school hall to see the children's work as several took to social media to praise the standard of art at the event.
