Project- This week the students have been focussing on building their dinosaurs out of junk modelling. First the designed how they wanted their dinosaur to look like. Then used all their learning skills in our project, by rolling paper, bending, twisting curling. To create and design their 3D dinosaur. 

Science- In science year 1, looked closely at real flowers with a magnified glass. They looked at the roots, petals, and stem. They pulled the flower apart to get a better look. They then made their own flower and labelled the flower parts. 

 Year 1 had a marvellous day on their trip this linked in nicely with our project.

We are very proud of each and every one of them 

Well done Year!  

Project- This week the students have been focussing on 3D art, by, rolling paper. They have learned different ways to roll paper in a 3D form. They designed their own quilling art, to make a 3D effect.   

Science- Students have enjoyed they used air dough to sculpture flowers and the pollen- they really enjoyed this lesson as they learned that how the pollen in found in the flower and what job the bumble bee plays the part as collecting the pollen.
