 Look at some of these amazing photos of our dances in RE. We looked at a number of dances and why different religions dance to worship God such as ‘The Hora, The Sufi and The Mudras.’

 We have designed our own pneumatic toys with a specific brief of it being a toy that would teach a Year 1 child about how air can be used to make objects move. We have now begun construction - have a look at our work so far!

Mosaics

 This week we used our final design to create our mosaics. First, we chose the tiles we needed to create our pattern. Then we used PVA glue to secure our tiles. After the glue had dried, we used grout to fill the gaps and cement our mosaics together. We spread the grout on and then washed the excess off with water and a sponge. Have a look at our fabulous finished projects!
