This week, class 5 have been getting very arty-clarty! There has been so many things to make for all sorts of occasions…even Christmas!

In our art lessons, we made fantastic dragon masks – this was to tie in with our humanities topic ‘Life in a Castle.’ To make the dragons, we had to use our fine motor skills. We used the tip of our finger dipped in paint to give the dragon the effect of scales then we practiced our cutting skills to give the dragon eyes, nostrils, horns, flames and cheek spikes. The end results are brilliant!

Although it isn’t quite the season to be jolly (yet!) we also had to think about Christmas as we made our entries for the annual Christmas Card competition. Obviously, we cannot reveal our design but we can tell you that there was glitter involved…it’d be wrong not to use it!

In among all the glitter, paint and cutting, we found time to learn about carbohydrates in science. We got to explore lots of different carbs, using them to create pictures. Everyone worked very hard and did some very creative things!

In PE, we continued our athletics work. This week, we did a sprint relay race using a baton, a hurdles race and the discus. The sprinting relay was very tiring, but we all did really well!

Have a lovely weekend!
