Little Princess! Charity cut
DONATIONS Around a month ago, Jasmine and her mum were talking about a charity called The Little Princess Trust, which is a charity that makes wigs for children who are unwell. Jasmine decided that she wanted to support the charity and began growing her hair! Her hair grew longer and longer and on Friday 16th April Jasmine finally cut her hair ready to donate. Her hairdresser came and did the snip for her! You can see in the pictures below how long her hair was. (Jasmine thinks from her scalp the hair was as long as 27 inches; she had 16 cut off !) She also raised money through friends and family totalling £105 to donate to the trust. Well done Jasmine. Thanks to Jasmine and Miss Stocking for the story. [Ed - Great work Jasmine!] MASKS (NOT COVID!) This half term, Year 6 has been learning about ‘The African Slave Trade’ and as part of their art curriculum, they designed masks. We learnt how some masks are believed to have spiritual connections to animals and other living creatures. The masks were constructed using using elaborate colours and layering effects, using different types of joins. Cardboard was the main media used; cutting; joining and finally painting. Y6 found this an educational and exciting experience, which taught them about some aspects of the history of Africa and was a good link to our topic. Thanks to Bronwyn, Olivia and Amelia in 6V for the story.
