Last week we used our designs to make our puppets. Miss Moore was very impressed with our resilience in sewing!

We really enjoyed creating bird feeders in outdoor adventures this week. Some of us were a bit unsure about the lard but we were all sure that the birds will love it. 

Year 2 are really enjoying our gymnastics topic this term.

Reception Blessed wanted to welcome our new Pope, Leo XIV and made him a card. We each spoke about what we would say if we met the Pope. We even sent our card to The Vatican City.

We have begun designing our hand puppets. We had great fun discussing the materials we would need. Then the sewing began. Some found it frustrating, but we used our resilience and we didn’t give up!

The finished results will be revealed soon…

We enjoyed the lovely weather today as we went for a walk around the school grounds to find out what plants were growing, or even flowering. We used our clip boards to record our findings.

This week we have been experimenting with clay, creating tiles and pots. We used a range of equipment to design our clay in different ways. Next week we will be trying to create an African pot. 

We have been continuing our growing project this week in year 1 Sacrament. We have sewn seeds, put bulbs to grow in water and we are now growing cress on cotton wool. 
 

We have started our new topic in Design and Technology. We are learning about puppets. Today we made two different types and had a go at threading. We will be sewing a puppet later this half term.
