This week for our Art lesson, we created items for the Enterprise Christmas Shop. We created Santa jelly bean cups using red cups, gold buckle stickers, little black belts and some black button stickers. We even decorated them with glitter to give them an extra special touch!
These cups will be available in the Enterprise shop and will help us raise money for our school!

Today, P2A started to create their string instruments in preparation for learning how to be in an orchestra. Last week, they chose an string instrument that they would like to learn and the Big Noise Team put them into different groups: Violins, Violas, Cellos and Double Basses.
Using cardboard boxes and sheets, the children worked individually and in teams to create life-sized versions of their instruments.
Next week they will be learning about the different strings in preparation for learning about finger placement and holding a bow!
Miss Ely’s favourite photo from this Big Noise session is of the cello players holding their brand-new cardboard instruments.

This week, P2A looked at the story of Bonfire Night. We learned about Guy Fawkes and how his plot to destroy Parliament and King James I was foiled by a simple letter!
We created a bonfire landscape by tearing and collaging red, yellow, orange and pink tissue paper onto black card. This made it look like the sky was on fire from the many bonfires around the city of London.
We glued an image of Parliament onto the foreground and added sparkly pipe cleaners to create a firework effect.
Fun Fact: Most of the Palace of Westminster or the Houses of Parliament was destroyed in a fire in 1834.The image of Parliament we used isn’t correct as the current Houses of Parliament building in London was not completed until 1870.
Here we are with some of our fabulous artwork!

Today, P2A got to experience 4 different string instruments with the Big Noise Team.
They looked at the violin, viola, cello and double bass and were able to take a turn playing the different instruments. They really enjoyed it and at the end were able to choose which instrument they wanted to learn. They are looking forward to starting this musical journey as is Miss Ely!
See some fabulous photos below!

This term we are looking at the relationship between the Earth, Sun and Moon and how it affects our day to day life. We will be looking at how the Earth’s rotation causes the seasons to change and why we have daytime and night-time.
Last week, we learned the names of the 8 planets of the solar system using a handy phrase:
My – Mercury
Very – Venus
Excited – Earth
Mother – Mars
Just – Jupiter
Served – Saturn
Us – Uranus
Nachos – Neptune
The children created a little guide to help them remember and some challenged themselves to write in the names of the planets independently! Miss Ely was very proud of you!
This week, we looked at the Earth’s rotation around the Sun and discussed why it is sunny when it is daytime and dark when it is night-time. See below for some excellent pictures of creating our models!
If you are interested, please visit your local library when you can find lots of books and magazines about Space!
Onwards and Upwards,
Miss Ely 🙂
