Fabrics from different islands

In topic this week we have been looking at fabrics that come from different islands. We have looked at Batik from Bali, Calico from Jamaica, Tartan from Scotland, Lamba from Madagascar and Cowichan  Tribe Knitting.

 We have had a close look at each of the fabrics in detail and focussed on some of the patterns. Today we got to choose our favourite design and produce our own version on our own piece of fabric!

Last Forest schools of the year

 To finish the year, the children made bow and arrows, boats, dens, whittled sticks for part of their role play and made swings . I loved this session- the children came up with wonderful ideas, thinking about all the things they'd done over the year.  Thank you all for making our Forest schools sessions so special, I can't wait for next year with you all!

Tremendous Taddy Stars

  Our Tremendous Taddy Stars really were tremendous this afternoon. They've been working so hard over the past few months, practising their routine at every opportunity- playtimes, lunchtimes and after school and I couldn't be prouder of how well they performed together today. The girls were a fantastic team and gave it everything. Not only did they smash their routine but they were awarded the 'Sprit of the games' award for their support to the other competitors. It's been a fantastic afternoon and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. A huge thank you to Rachel Limer for all the hard work that she's put in and to Joel for the fabulous team outfits- we looked fantastic!  P.s. I've tried to upload the video of the routine to the blog but it doesn't like it because it's too large!
