Class 9- Mayan artwork with oil pastels.

The children had a brief introduction to the popular Mayan City, Chicken Itza and the importance of the pyramid, El Castillo.

They then looked at some oil pastel techniques to recreate their own version of this.

Here they are in action, their final pieces were wonderful, hopefully we will get some of the finished ones uploaded soon ☺️.

The time slots are as follows:

You are welcome to come and celebrate the children’s work with them at any time between 4 and 5 but if you are around for your child’s class time slot with reptile rendezvous, then this would be fantastic too!

There will be canapes made by Michael, in the hall for all guests to enjoy. We really hope to see as many parents and children as possible at our first ever Green Top Art Exhibition.

Thank you as always for your support with the children and their education…they have all worked extremely hard to produce good quality art work and can’t wait to share it with you!

Spectacular Spoons!

I can’t believe the amount of wonderful character spoons we had fetched into school as part of our World Book Day competition! The creativity and effort that has gone into each and every one is amazing!

The Learning Council judged the spoons this morning but it was such a hard choice that we have ended up with 8 winners instead of 4!

Watch this space to see the winning spoons tomorrow …

Here are just some of the fabulous characters!
