Foot and mouth painting to honour service amputees

P7 have been investigating the effects on service men and women as part of our WW2 context. We first read and watched accounts of those affected by limb amputation and then discussed at length the challenges that would create day to day. We then examined existing works by foot and mouth painters and their techniques.

All that was left was for us to try it ourselves and we had a competition to see who could create the most accurate London skyline using only a foot or mouth!

The class produced some excellent results and many realised that as they went on their technique improved showing the benefit of practise and perseverance.

 

 

 

THE GREAT DUNBLANE BAKE OFF

The Great Dunblane Bake Off took place on Friday the 12th of May.   The pupils all worked very hard to produce tasty and creative cakes.   We had a range of Judges including The Dunblane Hilton, Tilly’s Tearoom, Leigh from the Dunblane Centre, DJ, Nathan, Margaret and Krissie.  It was a difficult decision to make!  The 8 winners will bake their cakes independently on Friday the 19th of May in the school kitchen.

We invited the Community of Dunblane in to sample the cakes on Friday afternoon and at the same time we managed to raise £240.  This money will go towards ingredients for the pupils to use in the kitchen.

DUNBLANE PRIMARY SCHOOL COMMUNITY CAFE

On Friday the 12th of June (not the 19th as stated in The Wire) the school will be holding a Community Café in the school from 2-4PM.  This will be an opportunity for parents, pupils and members of our community to come into the school and have a coffee, a chat and an opportunity to see and taste some of the cakes which our youngsters have made.  We hope to see as many people as possible that afternoon.
