pirates

Using patterned washi tape, a card circle and a lollipop stick, the littley's (FS1) made pirate stick puppets today. The idea is to use them as aids when retelling stories.

 

going round in circles

Tenuously, as part of their Ancient greek studies and with a nod to Pythagoras and Euclid, y3 created some designs and patterns using the 'old' compass-drawn method. 

 

 

 

They actually enjoyed the preciseness of the task and 'magical' way in which the patterns emerged. None of them had ever used pairs of compasses before!

Meanwhile y1 have been making bugs from lollipop sticks and card;

And 'Greek' mod-roc statues in Y3.

Don't seem to have had the opportunity to be very creative these past few days. Managed a quick sketch of Josephine Baker - more modestly attired than was normally the case!

Prima Ballerina

Miss Peggy D'Ancer deigned to put in an appearance today. She posed for a few photographs but insisted I sack the photographer after he failed to capture her in all her glory.

She has agreed to stay a while in my etsy shop, so should you wish to meet her please feel free to pop along.
