Robots

What do you think of our robots? We stuck junk boxes together with double sided tape. Some of our robots were standing, some sitting. Mrs. Ballaam sprayed them with gold or silver paint. Then we put their eyes and noses on and decorated them!

Women's Institute

 

On Wednesday 11th.June, we learnt that the WI is celebrating their 100th year and that the WI in Marston has been running for 90 years. We also learnt what these wonderful ladies do.Some of us thought that our Grandmas were members.

 

In the morning we went outside onto the playground and saw a lady bring the baton into Marston on a bike. She and all the WI ladies were wearing clothes from the old days.

 



 

We went over the road to the pub garden and looked at all the stalls that the WI had prepared. We looked at all the displays and learnt more about the history of the WI.

 

 

We took it in turns to wash clothes like they did in the old days, in a tub with a dolly stick.We liked wringing the clothes through the mangle.

 

 

 

 The ladies had made and iced cakes for us YUM, YUM! The washing and the cakes were our favourite!

Then we waved the baton off as it left Marston, in an old car for the next village.

 

Thank you for a lovely time, all the ladies of the WI. Congratulations and keep up the good work!

RE WEEK

The Perfect World

What a great, exciting and fun-filled RE week we've had, working on our theme The Perfect World!

 

 

We learnt how God created the world and helped make this beautiful whole school Wheel of Life.

 

 

 

 

 

We made Noah's Ark.

 

 

 

We danced an animal dance and moved like monkeys, elephants and tigers!

 

 

We looked at which countries are poor and watched a video of starving children in Africa. After making up our Charter for a Perfect World, we are trying hard not to waste food.

 

We planted tree seeds and hope they germinate!

 

 

In our visit to Church, we counted the crosses, pews and kneelers, looked at the dates on the gravestones and spent a few minutes reflecting on our own perfect world.

 

 

 

Richard taught us how to copy our templates for a perfect world onto clay tiles. We look forward to seeing them in our outdoor mural!!

 

We'll never forget this wonderful week!
