“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.” Michelangelo

I cannot believe we have arrived at the end of the second half term! What a wonderful term it has been, as we switched our attention to Design and technology and structures. We have had such fun experimenting and exploring a range of techniques with a plethora of tools to create a range of models. From joining various materials using different techniques and resources , to practicing our cutting skills with cooked spaghetti and shaped scissors! The children have been so enthusiastic to share their thoughts on processes, discuss why they have chosen certain resources and for what purpose. And to finish the half term, a sliding mechanism Nativity scene.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with your children and I cannot wait for the New Year, where we turn our focus to painting and mixed-media!

Have a wonderful, magical, Holy Christmas

God Bless

Marvellous Marks!

It has been so delightful welcoming Reception into the Create Room. This half term, the children have been busy exploring different media and mark making. From wax crayons to chalks and felt tips, we have thought about various marks we can make using different methods. The children have loved these sessions were very proud of their work.
