THE

McCoos. Stephen Brown art knowledge.

SCOTTISH DAY On Wednesday 8th September, Year 2 had a wonderful Scottish day, linked to their Autumn topic ‘Super Scots’. The children enjoyed finding out facts about Scotland and taking part in some traditional activities. They looked at artwork by Steven Brown and even created their own individual art pieces. Highland cows, using lines of colour, were everywhere! Energetic too, the children took part in some Highland Games. They learnt the ‘Scottish Fling dance’ and created a class Loch Ness monster. Throughout the day there was plenty of fun and laughter, especially when we shared The Gruffalo in Scot together. The teachers tried their very best to use a Scottish accent! Thanks to Miss Stocking for the story! BARNEY’S BARNET When Barney's auntie lost her hair through cancer treatment, he wanted to do something to help. We found out about the Little Princess Trust and he decided to support their work. He has been growing his hair for two years, ready to donate it to them! He's put up with all of the brushing and extra hair care that having long hair takes; he's dealt with people confusing him for a girl or telling him that he looks girly with long hair (thankfully no one from school - his friends have been awesomely supportive ! ) and now it's done!! He's also raised over £1800 for the charity! [Ed - Magnificent effort Barney - we are all really proud of you!] Thanks to Barney’s mum for the story!
