Signing off!

Well here we are at the end of a wonderful year and it's time for the whole school trip to the sea side again!

We had a fabulous day!

Now it's time for Tessellation Base to sign off.

We really enjoyed looking back at our blog and realised just how much we have done and what fun we have had!

Have a wonderful summer break everybody!

More sporting fun!

Here are some of the extra sporting activities we have had a chance to shine in this term.

This is our golf morning when we learnt about the game and some of the techniques of good golfing!

We have also been having weekly cricket lessons thanks to 'Chance to Shine' cricket.

Here we are in action!

Finally we had an absolute expert to demonstrate the art of speed stacking!

She then shared her skills with us and now we are all expert speed stackers!

Sports day fun!

We had a wonderful time on Sports Day. We started off with a carousel of sporty challenges and then took part in a selsction of races. We tried so hard that everyone was a winner on the day!

International Arts Week

The UNCRC [The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child] states that children should learn about and respect other countries and cultures. It also says children have the right to take part in a variety of activities and to develop their own individual talents.

Well here we are learning about Spain and having fantastic fun trying out new activities!

These are mosaic lizards created in the style of a very famous Spanish architect and artist Antoni Gaudi.

Here we are experimenting with watercolours to make Spanish fans.
This is the display we made of all our research.

We were very impressed that Matthew found a 'Picasso' in his garage!!

I would never have believed we had such amazing Flamenco dancers in our class!

Our visit to Streetwise.

As part of our P.S.H.E. work we visited Streetwise. This is a wonderful resource that teaches children to recognise danger and keep themselves safe both at home and when out and about.

We visited the sea-side area, the park and the road and were amazed at how many things could harm us if we are not careful.

Inside the house we were particularly good at spotting dangers from electrical appliances as we had learnt about this recently at school!

There was a lot to think about but one thing we know we will not forget is..........

'Never go with a stranger however convincing they sound!'

We designed these models with circuits and switches so we could create flashing lights!

We learnt about switches and how they break a circuit and reconnect to turn a bulb on and off. These are two of the switches we made.
