Collaboration in Skippers

We are challenging ourselves in art today. We are creating our own busy street scene by using pva, scissors and magazines. We like Eric Carle's style and are using it to cut out trees, buildings, trains and cars. Come in and see our art in progress.

Rainy afternoon in Skippers

When the Wetlands afternoon was cancelled Skippers decided to have an afternoon full of Joy. We were collaborating with each other to build a tower, writing in our free writing books, doing some mindful colouring, being creative and up-cycling some old boxes, working with Miss Eve to create a town-scape collage, making pictures with shapes and doing some exercise...phew, what an afternoon!

Helping Hands

In Skippers during Concept we are discussing how we use our hands to help our community.
We did some hand print painting last week.
Now we're collaborating in our groups to talk about how we help each other.
Some people are the writers. Some people are the speakers.

The Joy of Star Wars

At Maths time we are learning using Star Wars cards. We are picking 2 cards and adding them together, or taking them away. We are also learning to order numbers by picking 5 cards and putting them in order from the smallest to the biggest and biggest to the smallest.







Potion in Motion

These are strawberry potions.
It makes you into a bubble. 
If you drink one with white water it turns you into a frog. 

Safer Communities Together

I made this whole thing by myself. 
It's a police station.
