Fruit Frenzy!, by Mrs Ashton
Date: 31st Mar 2016 @ 4:38pm
Today in Q2 we had a lovely morning making our own delicious and healthy, fruit kebabs. We learnt about how important it is to wash our hands, wash the fruit and be safe with knives. We designed our kebab, cut the fruit and created our design on the skewers. Finally, we sampled our kebabs and thought of creative adjectives to describe our products.
Cayden said "My kebab was scrumptious!"
Isaac said "Some of the fruit was tangy, if i made the kebab again I would use different fruits and maybe leave the mango off my kebab."
Lilly-Mae thought her kebab was really tasty!
We all really enjoyed making our fruit kebabs.

Perfect Penguin Plates, by Miss Hope
Date: 13th Jan 2016 @ 10:31am
First thing this morning we were working with Andi Taylor, our artist, making perfect penguin plates. First of all Andi taught us how to draw a penguin. Then we drew our penguin with a pencil. Next we cut our penguins out carefully. After that we stuck our penguins onto blue cellophane and cut it out. We decorated it with tissue paper. Finally we glued our penguins onto a blue paper plate. We think our Perfect Penguin Plates are fantastic so we are putting them on display in our classroom. We had a wonderful time.
Today's blog has been written by the children from Q2.
