This week we have been studying lines of symmetry in shapes and in nature as well as learning how to create symmetrical pictures. We did some research on the Monarch butterfly which is a beautiful symmetrical creature and created oil pastel drawings. Using black and white card we also learned how to make positive/negative symmetrical pictures.
On Wednesday 27th May P5/6 invited parents and carers to help us in our school garden. There was a big turn out from parents, grandparents and even sisters. We had great fun and managed to get a lot of work done.
We dug over our vegetable beds and planted potatoes and shallots. We used hanging baskets to plant strawberries and tumbling tomatoes. Purple Haze carrots and Blood Red onions were thinned out and transferred from pots into grow bags. Pupils worked hard to weed our flower planters and added beautiful bright flowering plants.
On the 15 May our class joined in with Jamie Oliver’s ‘Food Revolution Day’. We took part so we could learn to make healthier food choices. The whole class had fun squashing and mixing the ingredients together to make our own ‘Squash It’ sandwich!
