We had lots of fun last Wednesday on our Sports Day, despite a very chilly wind!
Art Lesson
In Art p7 have been learning to form clay to create a 3 dimensional model.
The project began by discussing Design and looking at different cartoon characters.
They spent time researching, sketching before coming up with an original idea for a unique character.
The following lesson was about forming clay to create our character. They learned how to manipulate the clay into different shapes, join the clay together and smooth it to give it a nice finish.
Pupils then spent a couple of weeks painting and adding details.
Fantastic work p7, Well done!
Buddies PE
We popped along to our buddies PE session today and helped them do the Olympic obstacle that we did on Monday.
