Colourful Christmas Trees !
We had such fun creating these pictures. We even had to wear gloves so that the dye wouldn’t go onto our hands from the tissue paper when it was wet. We stained the paper using wet tissue paper.This was really a type of printing that we were doing. The end product was very pleasing. Third and Fourth Class are delighted with their Christmas pictures.

Iris Folding Technique
Third and Fourth Class have made Christmas cards using the iris-folding technique which is an attractive paper craft technique used in card making. There is a pattern which is marked with numbers. You have to follow the pattern and layer the paper. Well done to all the pupils. Lovely work.

Third & Fourth were sewing!
We were busy sewing hedgehogs using top stitch. Then we stuck on some felt for the spikes. Teacher gave us some stuffing to give them a nice shape. They are so soft and cuddly. We could use them as little pillows or cushions.
Third and Fourth Class go Orienteering
We headed down the woods to do some orienteering today. We had a fabulous time and the woods were magical!Teacher put us into pairs and we had to find ten control cards and record the symbol found on each card.Then we returned to base to check our answers. It was such a fun P.E. class and we hope to do some more orienteering soon again.
