We began by researching images of winter trees and we looked at tree diagrams to find out about the different parts of a tree. We talked about the varying length and thickness of tree trunks and branches and worked on reflecting this within our art work. To create a winter scene, we used cotton bud printing to create white snowflakes.
Today we took the binoculars we made and went on a bird hunt around our school. We saw a robin, starling, blackbird and pigeon. We also saw the daffodils and crocuses starting to grow.
P7MM and P7L started their week with a Sentinus Activity delivered by Peter. We were tasked to design and build bridges using paper and masking tape. Our bridges were tested for strength using 5-10 litres of water attached to the bridge by a hook. Some very creative designs and great team work.
