Take a Seat with Year 3 and 4

Year 3 and 4 have had a very interesting time looking at ‘chairs’

A chair is made for a particular purpose, (deck chairs for sitting in the sun, lounge chair for relaxing, high chairs for babies and toddlers) in the same way Father God has designed us for a particular purpose and has a plan for each of our lives.

First we looked at lots of different chairs then designed and made our own chairs, which proved to be great fun.





We started with the seat. 














We even tried to add padding to make them comfortable!!










   Then we added the back.
   Olivia had a beautiful back to her chair.  












               The legs were not easy to attach!


       








Then we decorated them with paint, felt tip pens and crayons.


Now we have our finished product …..
Would you like to sit down and put your feet up?






















Pansies

Year 5 and 6 have been being rather mean to some poor flowers over the last two weeks.  They have recently posted on their blog about it and there is even a video.  Follow this link to check it out.

We're glad to say the the pansies have fully recovered over the weekend and are all back to normal now.

ACES Day

May 2nd was this years ACES Day (All Children Excercise Simultaneously) and, at Emmanuel School, we decided it would be great fun to take part.  It is exciting to think that we were joining in with possibly millions of children around the world excercising.

We invited Mrs Snowdon (not the Year 3/4 Class teacher) to come in and lead us in some dancing on the playground and a great time was had by all.  Here are some photos of us dancing.  Look out for the especially energetic teachers.
