Designing and Making a Scarecrow and Scarecrow Drawings

We were so excited to enter the local Pumpkin Patch's Design a Scarecrow competition. We looked at photographs of scarecrows and brainstormed the kind of things we would need in order to make our own scarecrow. We made a list and then we began to bring in the items. Once we had gathered everything we needed we voted on the best trousers, shirt, wellies, hat etc to use to make our scarecrow. We worked together to dress the scarecrow and filled his body with straw. Ms Hill helped us with some of the tricky bits like tying the twine and attaching the head. We took turns designing our scarecrow's face. We are really happy with how he turned out. He is now on show for all to see at the Pumpkin Patch and we hope he is having a nice time there and helping out to keep the birds away from the lovely pumpkins! We have our fingers crossed for the Pizza Party prize but if we don't win we won't be too disappointed as we had so much fun making our scarecrow.

Thanks to everyone for bringing in the materials we needed and well done to all the 1st class girls and boys for working so hard as a team to make such a fantastic scarecrow!

Carol Service Practice

1st and 2nd Class have been working so hard learning their Christmas carols for the upcoming Carol Service. They are really looking forward to performing their carols in the church. They should be so proud of themselves. They will sing Mary's Boy Child, Mary and Following a Star!

Hello Summer - Beach Scene Paintings

Given the sunny weather in May the 1 st and 2nd class children have been bringing the beach to life with their sand and sea beach scene paintings. The children painted beautiful seaside landscapes and brought of sense of individualism to their work by adding in colourful flip-flops they each designed. They also added other items of interest such as beach balls, sandcastles, crabs etc. These paintings are now proudly displayed in outside our classroom, spreading a bit of summer joy to everyone who walks by.

Penguin Art

Our penguins are waddling into winter. We experimented with mixing various shades of blue, purple and white to make the colours for our penguin backgrounds. We used black paper, white and orange paper to make our penguins and the snow and made cool scarves and hats for them.
