The end of the week!

Friday was a whirlwind of activity in all classes. Everyone was finishing off things for the outside area, and there was lots of serious stapling going on! One of my favourite touches, was the large flowers the caretaker and I attatched to the fence... made out of some old insulation material, and these large, red brillo pad type things, that used to be used on the old floor cleaner!! It's amazing how creative we've become with no money.

In Blue class we had a slightly quieter morning, writing poetry and drawing flowers, based on the work we did earlier in the week. In the afternoon we had time to reflect on how the week had gone. All the children seemed very positive, and as well as enjoying the art, had really enjoyed their writing this week. They liked the way that they could use different materials to write with, and that often the writing activities were quick and fun.

At lunchtime, the children were itching to get into the area, but they had to wait for the official opening, at assembly time in the afternoon. One of the dinnerladies said, " It looks fantastic in there. The children have worked so hard!"

During our special assembly the children were all asked whether they thought everyone had done a great job this week, and whether they would be using the area next week... the answer was a definite "yes". Everyone was thanked for their hard work, and then the children got their first proper look at the 'Everybody writes' area.
