Art’s week in Dragonflies
We have had a busy week in Dragonflies this week! With arts week in full swing we have had the chance to have a go at lot’s of different Mexican themed arts. To start our week off on Monday we had the opportunity to have a go at Mexican dance. We learnt the Mexican hat dance where Miss Hindley was extremely impressed with their Dance moves! Throughout the week we have been creating traditional Mexican pattern’s through the technique of Batik, which requires us to draw a pattern on to material using wax and then paint our design with fabric paint. We have had a go at making Freida Kahlo Piñata’s and flower crowns. We have also experimented with clay to make traditional Mexican sun faces and finally we have LOVED making Ojos de Dios ( God’s eyes) out of sticks and weaving wool, we found this therapeutic! Well done Dragonflies you have worked hard this week!

Summer Term (2nd half) – Owls
Hello everyone,
Hope you’ve had lots of fun during half term! Below is the updated timetable for Owl Class for this next half term.
Owl PE – Due to swimming now being on Friday afternoons, we will now only be having PE on Tuesdays (as usual). So please ensure children wear PE kits on Tuesday.
For the Owls and Dragonflies that join me for football club on Thursdays, I want to make it really clear that football boots and shinpads are a necessity for involvement in this club. Luckily we have not had any accidents involving studs yet but this cannot be a risk. Please ensure your child has them with them on Thursdays and comes in their PE kit that day too.
Thanks
Mr Arthur
Olympic Fun Run 🏃
The children completed their sponsored fun run this morning, it was lovely to see everyone trying their best and encouraging each other. We can’t wait to find out how much money has been raised.
