Percy the Park Keeper update

Good afternoon,
today we have been doing some fantastic art work using a variety of medium from collage to pastels and finally water colours which the children loved. I have been encouraging children to look carefully and reproduce detail. The animals are being cut out and added to our Percy the Park Keeper display. Whilst the display might not be finished yet, please feel free to come in on Friday morning to have a look at the variety of animals. Your children love art and have asked for another whole day. Usually the art table is set up as a child initiated/ teacher led activity so it was lovely to see the excited children. I will add photos onto the blog later in the week as my i-pad is recharging at home. I need to close doors by 8.50 on Friday so the children can get changed for PE so it is better to be earlier than later.

The vets clinic opened today and the children enjoyed caring for our pets. There were bandages galore. The Percy Park Keeper shed is being developed next week. The forecast for Tuesday at the moment is looking reasonably dry so if you would like to join us for a planting experience please do. We will be making grass heads or grass caterpillars and planting sun flowers for our growing competition as well as looking at who is taking the best care of their sunflower. I need to register the children but we will start as soon as we can, probably no later than 9. I thik it will only take about half an hour.

Don't forget small cardboard boxes like cereal or cardboard tubes. These are to be used to create junk models. The more boxes the better the models.

If you have any old pans that you are thinking of throwing out please can we have them. In summer we love our outside learning and making noise.

Thank you
Mrs Bq
