This term the children will be making different toys.
This week they made a thaumatrope which is an optical illusion. The illusion makes you think the picture of the bird is in the cage.

Viking Shields and Swords
In Art, P1/2 have been learning how to make a Viking shield and a sword.
When making the shield, they first used paper mache to make the boss before painting in the colours the Vikings would have used.
P6/7 helped them to make swords. They wrote their name in rune on the sword and were helped to wrap string around the handle to represent rope.
P1/2 Health Week
This week we had a big focus on Road Safety but we were involved on lots of different activities too.
The Nativity
This year P1/2 and Nursery performed the Noisy Nativity.
They were absolutely brilliant! Enjoy the photos of the night and in their costumes.
What We Have Been Up To!
Here are some pictures and information about what we have been learning this term!
Expressive Arts in relation to Transport
The children read the book the Bus Under the Leaves about an old bus being found and then painted with multi-colours! They decided to make one and paint it too.
In Drama, they went on a Magic Carpet Adventure visiting a tropical island and the North Pole!
The Christmas Nativity
After two months of hard work, the children performed their nativity, The Christmas Recipe!
They worked hard to learn their songs, words, dances, stage directions and to speak loudly and clearly in front of a large audience. There were also a few changes of costumes to play different characters. Before the performance the children also helped to paint pictures and signs to decorate the stage.
Well done children! Your hard work certainly paid off on the night!
See photos on main page.
Making clay pots
For our topic of Diwali, the children made little clay pots!
Our Easter bonnets
Wow… what fantastic Easter bonnets ( and a cake) you made P1/2!

The Dragon has come to P1/2
This week we were visited by the Friendly Dragon. He asked us to read more Fairy tales, make our reading area more welcoming and start to decorate our classroom like Fairyland.
After reading the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, we took turns to paint the beanstalk, we made little Jacks and made different textured leaves for the beanstalk. We have also started to change our Reading Corner.
