Portway Infant School
Today was Penguin Day and what a great day we had! We were each given an egg to look after for the entire day. We created our brood pouches using a range of materials to help keep our egg safe, warm and dry. It was so lovely reading some of our favourite books to our eggs during the school day. We finished the day by practising our ‘Penguin Dance’ which was made all the more exciting because we were actually dressed up as penguins!
In honour of Remembrance Day, the children listened to the story of Where the poppies now grow and discussed why the poppy is the symbol of remembrance. The children looked at a range of different watercolour artists and looked at their poppy art. The children then experimented with the different techniques to create their own stunning artwork.
Year 2 ventured out into the fresh air for a brilliant day of Forest School. We enjoyed building some amazing dens, concocting a muddy menu in the mud kitchen, creating the perfect habitat for our school snails and creating some natural art based on the style of Andy Goldsworthy. Luckily the rain stayed away for us all day as well. What a fun day we had!
