Discussions around the signs of Spring were the stimulus in the art area before the holiday and many of the children have enjoyed creating artwork using their observational skills and imagination. Pens, paint and craft materials were all used to produce these Spring pictures in the Rainbow Room. I wonder if any of the children recognise their own work in our little gallery?
At the end of term the children in the Rainbow Room were learning about birds building nests and we looked at photos of what they use to build homes for their new chicks. Some children then used a range of materials to create their own little decorative nests to take home for the Easter holiday. As you can see, each nest that was produced was individual and unique to each child. Great work boys and girls – we are sure that they must look lovely in your homes.
It was a very busy end to the term with lots of different activities for the children. Here some of those in the Rainbow Room are busy making their chocolate nests, learning about melting and measuring as they use the microwave to melt their chocolate and count out the various ingredients. We hope that they tasted as good as they looked.
What a lot of fantastic decorated eggs appeared from our Nursery children this week for our competition! It was great to see that children and their families have worked together at home on this fun activity and the Nursery table was full of lots of creative ideas. Well done to everyone who took the time to enter the competition and congratulations to Nancy who was the super Nursery winner.
We hope that lots of our children will take part in this week’s competition to decorate a hard boiled egg. Entries can be brought in to Nursery on Monday 1st and Tuesday 2nd April to add to the whole school display. There will be prizes for the best egg in various groups and ours will be in the Nursery and Primary 1 section. Adults have their own section so the grown ups in your family can have a go too. Have fun decorating your eggs everyone – we look forward to seeing them soon.
Here is a group of Primary 6 children helping the afternoon children with their bunny designs at the end of term. If you would like to see all the bunnies together, have a look on the Nursery wall after the holiday. We think that they make a great display to reflect yet another super time together. Thank you Primary 6 for all your help.
Our Primary 6 buddies continued their super work in the Nursery in the last week of term, enjoying an art activity with our children. Marshmallows, toothbrushes and glitter were the tools used to decorate their bunnies and the older pupils chatted to our children as they made their choices about colour and design. This gallery shows the morning children all busy at work. We will post some photos of the afternoon children working with Primary 6 soon.
Bethany’s family is delighted with her success in the egg decorating competition:
 “Well done Bethany. We are so proud of you. X”
She certainly did very well as there were lots of eggs from Nursery and Primary 1. Enjoy your prize Bethany.
