🐛✨ FROM COCOONS TO WINGS! ✨🦋 During term 5 our Nursery children had been carefully studying some new caterpillar friends. The children noticed that they had begun to form chrysalises just before the half term and returned from the break to a most wonderful surprise- all 5 of our beautiful butterflies have emerged! 🎉 A massive thank you to Mr Humphries, who took wonderful care of our little caterpillar friends during our week off. We are looking forward to releasing them soon 💜🦋

O'Keeffe Class finished the term on a high yesterday! As part of their topic on plants, the children have been busy growing their very own cress. On the last day of term, they harvested their hard work and enjoyed some tasty cress sandwiches in the sunshine. Some of the children liked it, some didn’t, but everyone gave it a go! We are so proud of our mini-gardeners! Well done O'Keeffe class. 🎉

In their art lessons, O’Keeffe Class have been exploring the vibrant world of James Rizzi, an American artist famous for his colourful 3D pop art. By mastering the art of cutting and sticking, the children built up layers of cardboard to make their own creations truly "pop" off the page. More pictures can be found on our Facebook page. #damejanetprimaryacademy
