NISCU came in to do a puppet show, for Oak and Chestnut Class, all about Christmas. It was lots of fun and we got to meet lots of animals!
Oak Class have been learning about castles and dragons so of course we had to have a medieval banquet. We learnt lots about the etiquette of a banquet and the role of the servant (which of course was a role that the staff took on!) We invited Chestnut Class and some special VIPs including Miss Palmer who has now finished her last day with us. We will all miss her a lot and we hope she comes back and visits us!
Sycamore Class designed and created Egyptian Self-Portraits and Canopic Jars. They used different sculpting techniques for their jars. They used the coil technique for the base and adapted a thumb pot for the head.
We all had a wonderful Halloween, dressing up as lots of different characters as well as having our movie night. Thank you so much to the PTA for organising and carrying out such a brilliant evening!
Oak & Chestnut Class have been learning about bonfire and firework safety this week so of course we had to have a fire and toast some marshmallows. We also made sparklers with breadsticks, melted chocolate and sprinkles!
In Beech Class we painted our own Greek pots. We learned about different Greek pots and what they were used for. We chose a design for our pot and then decorated it with typical images and patterns from Ancient Greece including scenes from daily life, myths and legends, Olympics and battles. We painted these pots in preparation for making our own Greek pots out of clay.
Beech Class had a great time visiting the Walker Art Gallery and World Museum in Liverpool learning all about Ancient Greece. They also now have a claim to fame after being joined by Johnny Vegas who knew a surprising amount about Ancient Greece!
