• Ice Cream Treat

• P4/5’s Bright New Start

  Fri 30 Aug 2024

  Mr Doyle’s class had a vibrant start to the new academic year. Firstly, the children painted a silhouette of a sunset island scene. They had an opportunity to mix primary colours to create a wash for their background. 

  They then took to the outdoors for some blackberry picking as part of their first WAU topic: ‘Food, Glorious Food!’ With it being late August and with a barrage of heavy rain and sun for a full week, the blackberries ripened perfectly for picking.
