Over the last 2 weeks for topic the children have been completing a project to build a photo frame. They started with market research to see what a customer would want. Next, they explored different photo frames available. Moving on to the design and make process. Learning how to measure, mark, cut using a saw and assembling using a hot glue gun. They have now decorated they frames and will insert a photo for a special person to receive as a gift. Well done Puffins 🙂

Vincent Van Gogh
This week our topic has been art. We are currently looking at and appreciating the works of Vincent Wan Gogh. Whilst using different coloured pencils to get different tones we used Starry Night painting for our inspiration. Whilst colouring we listened to the soft voice of Don McClean singing Starry Starry Night about the life of Vincent Van Gogh.
