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!
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!
The children were joined today by our visiting Specialists.
This included Mrs McGaffney for Music, Mrs Bennett for Drama and Miss Mailer for Art.
In the morning Miss Mailer built marvellous lighthouses with the children and showed them the easy way to draw seagulls.
Mrs McGaffney used the Ipads with the children. They put sounds to pictures using musical instruments and their voices and then recorded these on the Ipads. These were then demonstrated to the children on the smartboard.
In the afternoon, the children made still pictures and used mime for different scenes of the Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch story.
Thank you all our specialists who came today and made the day so enjoyable.
