Potty Art Workshop By Lucy & Zac
On Thursday 18th April Potty Art came to school. We had the opportunity to work on a potter’s wheel. First of all the lady explained what we needed to do. We took turns to use the wheel and made our pottery pieces in the shape of a cup. When they were dry we could paint them. We made small shapes to stick onto them. We also painted our small shapes which were them stuck on to the cups. We could also paint images on our pots. They were left to dry and we could take them home on Friday.
Amazing Journeys By Lucy & Zac
On Thursday 2nd May, Keady Baptist Church came to school to teach us some Bible stories. They came early and set up 3 back drops for the stories. Members of the church dressed up and retold the Bible stories. We listened to the stories of ‘Adam & Eve’, ‘Noah’s Ark’, ‘Moses’, ‘David and Goliath’ and the ‘Birth of Jesus’. At the end, we all got to dress up as Bible characters and try Old Testament food. We didn’t really like the olives but loved the honey, grapes, apples and bread. We enjoyed listening and watching the bible stories being acted out. We also got the opportunity to sign a form for a free Bible and Bible activity sheets.
