It was wonderful to see so many families in school last week enjoying the curriculum activities and walks around the school. Almost all feedback is positive and any suggestions will be brought forward to our next child led event.

Primary pupils ART entries at Bonhoga
Pupil have been working very hard on different art forms for the exhibition that is currently running at the Bonhoga Gallery until the 3rd November. Sarah Hoseason , our art teacher at school, has done a fantastic job, showcasing the amazing work of the pupils. Thank you Sarah.
Here is what Sarah shared with us about the different projects the pupils have been involved with:
P1 and 2 made clay seals looking at shape and form.
P3 and P4 made their own warp using string. They wove the weft from sea rope, organza and yarn – lots of numeracy and recycling!
P5 – P7 – could choose from different projects. The copper wiring was cut from dumped electrical cable. The class were taught 3 bending techniques using pliers. Basket-making used dumped sea ropes. The felting was made from Shetland fleece.

Moving Up Day into P1/2
After listening to the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff it was straight into some STEM challenges. The children had to start to build a bridge until they met up with their partner who was building towards them from the opposite side of the river. They could only choose 20 blocks each.
Then of course we had to make some goats and even a troll or two to go under the bridges!
And the final shot of the river with all those bridges, goats and trolls!
Whole school walk
It was such a beautiful day we decided to go for a whole school walk and look for signs of spring.
