Below you will find a gallery of all the exciting learning activities that have taken place in Dragonfly class this year.

Making Bread

All the children had fun making bread rolls this week using their own designs. They made the dough and then used different shapes and flavours to create their individual rolls.

Languages Day

We had great fun on Languages Day learning all about France. The children had booklets to complete where they learned how to count up to 12 in French and also what different colours where in French too. They tasted different French food including, crepes, baguette, brie and madeleine cakes. They sang French songs, learned some basic french phrases and made collages of the French flag. It was 'tres bien!'

Vegetable Portraits

Our Art topic at the moment is drawing portraits. Over the last few weeks the children have been learning about different styles of portrait, and have learned about an artist from 500 years ago called Arcimboldo. This artist used fruit, vegetables and flowers to create some very unusual portraits and the children recreated his style and made their own portraits out of vegetables!

Chalk Portraits

This week the class created their own portraits using chalk on the playground. They tried to include more details into the pictures, including eye lashes, eye brows and ears!

Bread Tasting

In DT our topic is Where does food come from? We are specifically looking at bread, and this week the children were able to evaluate different types of bread by tasting them! The overall winner was Naan Bread!
