Technology Volcanoes Day 1

6 Comments

Today we created 3D volcanoes using paper mache. First of all we dipped the paper into the glue and then stuck it onto the wire of our volcano.

We continued doing this until we had 2-3 layers. Then we gave a final coating using PVA glue. We need to leave them now for 24 hours to let them harden.

“I enjoyed getting messy with the PVA glue-it was all sticky and felt weird!” – Anthony

“I liked sticking on the paper mache.”-  Aidan

“I liked getting messy and applying the paper mache.” – Aimee

“I had great fun creating my volcano and it was very messy!” – Taylor

“I enjoyed shaping the wire to make it look like a volcano.” – Darby

“The work today was awesome, I loved making the volcano models!” – Megan

Check back tomorrow to see our volcanoes…we can’t wait to paint them!!

Sports Day

Leave a comment

On Friday, we had a fantastic day taking part in lots of  different activities. To begin with we started off at the Micro Fitness, where we got to try lots of new equipment like spin bikes, treadmills, cross trainers and rowing machines. It was great fun but hard work too!

After the Micro Fitness we went to the disco. The music was great and we had a fabulous time dancing with everyone!

Our next activity was the bouncy castle. We all had a fantastic time jumping about!

After break, we visited the potted sports area where we took part in football shootout, hockey dribble, basketball shootout and beanbag throw. We all  tried really hard to earn some points for our house!

After the potted sports, we took part in some football training activities led by a coach from Colts F.C. We all enjoyed learning some new skills!

In the afternoon we took part in orienteering. We worked in a group to find clues and come up with a secret message. We all had great fun trying to find the clues and solve the code! 

Finally, we took part in a scavenger hunt to find a variety of things in the Nature Garden. We enjoyed exploring outside and had fun trying to find a four leaf clover!!
