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.

Making Dens
We have been learning to make dens in the forest.
We first of all made one for our little fairies and then worked together to make a larger one in a certain style for one person to fit in.
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.

It started off with little ones for our fairies whose homes were blown away by Sneezy the Dragon.
