Art - pinch pots

The children designed and crafted pinch pots. 

 

History - modern vs past toys

Children in class 2 brought their toys in to compare them to past toys they have been studying. We noticed that many toys today have an electronic element whereas toys from the past didn't and often relied more on your imagination. 

Art - mark making

The children practised mark making on play-doh to ensure that they were confident in choosing designs for their clay thumb pots.

 

Design Technology – Santa Sleighs

The children designed and created their very own Santa's sleighs. They incorporated wheels to create movement.
