Last Friday we were lucky enough to have so many parent helpers to assist us with constructing our Castles during Art. The children created cones with decorative paper to top their turrets, used scissors to cut 'battlement' edges into their castles, attached materials with PVA, masking tape and created drawbridges from string and cardboard. Some interesting features on our castles included a range of different sized towers, dungeons, portcullises, turrets and one castle even had a moat filled with pretend water. It was fantastic to see the Year Ones put their creative hats on to construct their own unique and inventive structures.
Thank you to all Year One parents for helping your children gather and collect various recycled materials from home. We had so many toilet rolls, shoeboxes, containers and other items that we put to good use. A big thanks to our wonderful parent helpers from Year 1S and Year 1P for making this activity possible.
