Art

At our school this term we are having a big focus on visual art.  Each week the children are learning lots of different things with different teachers.  We are also having visiting artists from our community.  We were lucky enough to have a visit from Ange Jewiss (Lola's mum) who is a jeweller.  Ange makes beautiful jewellery from shiny silver.  She makes circles and shapes, using her hammer to make them look the way she wants them to.  She has a tiny anvil.  George was allowed to whack the hammer onto some Silver.  Ange bends wire into shapes and uses little connectors to join pieces together to make necklaces and bracelets.  Lola was wearing some of her mums beautiful jewellery to show us.  Thank you so much Ange for sharing your work with us.

Blogging problems

It's been a long time since room 8 have posted on our blog. We have had some computer changes at school which meant blogger wouldn't work properly so we have had to store up all our ideas and events.  We are hoping to catch up on all our news as soon as possible.
