A Horse in the Playground!!

 in SCARF by

This week we welcomed ‘Murphy’ the volunteer police horse and his rider Amanda, when the police came to school.  Murphy is one of a team of horses and riders supporting our local community to keep everyone safe. During our visit, we learned all about Murphy’s role across the local area.  We also learnt about how to keep ourselves safe on rural roads from our local PC Jane Park.

Everyone in school enjoyed the opportunity to say hello!  We even made Murphy a special Levens award.

Stunning Stone Circles

 in Art / Class Three by

Class 3 have been studying stone circles and have produced some amazing paintings using watercolours and ink. We experimented with different techniques using the paints, using different brushes and wet and dry paper. We looked closely at examples of painting and used this as inspiration for our own pictures. We practised drawing stone circles, focusing on perspective and also adding ink details to the paint.

The finished results were fabulous.

 

Woodmatters

 in Class Three by

Class Three had a fabulous day in the sunshine learning lots of new forest skills. We played trust games in pairs, leading our blindfolded partner to a tree. When the blindfold was removed we had to find the specific tree. Lots of communication and cooperation were needed.

Following this we made campfires, collecting twigs and using flint and steels to create fires, we then made popcorn which we all enjoyed.

Next we needed resilience and endurance to make skipping ropes. We had lots of fun skipping in the forest.

Finally we made leaf pattern bunting, choosing our leaves carefully, pacing them in the material and tapping gently to reveal the leaf shapes.

We all had a wonderful day. Thank you to Woodmatters and our amazing adult helpers.
