xmas

I know we're still in November but our school xmas fair is next week! We've been busy making things to sell - here are some of the hanging decorations we hope folk will buy. MDF wheels, wooden shapes for the wings, dowel for the beaks and a scrap of red felt. They also have wooden tail feathers!

more winterscapes

In FS1 (the 3 & 4 year olds), we've been busy hand printing winter trees. The 'snow' is torn white paper and the snowflakes are fingerprints.

 

 

winterscapes

The Y1's created wintery landscape pictures today. We dribbled watery paint down a sheet of paper that they pre-painted a wash onto yesterday. After the dribbling we used straws to blow the remaining drops into finer 'twigs'. We think the end results look very good. 

 

 

to market

A clear, bright but very cold saturday at Dortmund xmas market. One of the largest trees around (actually made from lots of smaller ones attached to a very sturdy framework).

 

Some of the stalls are works of art and must take ages to put together and have to be stored very carefully from year to year.

 

 

This old barn looked like it had been there forever but was in fact a pre-fabricated structure plonked in the middle of a pedestrian walkway.
