Pom-Pom Day - March 1st

On Friday March 1st in the afternoon, the pupils in school, from Nursery up until Year 6, spent an hour making their own pom-pom.


 
 
It was a busy time, wrapping wool around the cardboard discs.  I visited all the phases and all the children were enjoying the experience.  In fact, in Nursery we have been making pom-poms during the week to strengthen our motor skills - and we have made some lovely ones! 
Everyone at Friendly Faces has also been busy making pom-poms.
 
 
 
 
Each of the pom-poms will be part of the two owls we are making in school, in just the same way as we made our Robin Hood Primary School Sheep last year.
 
 
 
 
One of our owls will be in our school colours (like our sheep), whilst the other will be in natural colours.
 
 
 
If anybody has taken any unfinished pom-poms they wanted to finish at home, then now is the time to bring them in.  We are currently up to approximately four hundred finished poms-poms (with some still to complete).  That means there will be two hundred for each owl.
 
 


Also if any Year 4's would like to make a pom-pom, please let me know, as I know you were swimming when we were making them.  Then I can let you have some wool and the templates.




I am busy making the wire structures for the bodies and I am looking forward to working with the KS2 Artclub next week to paper mache them.
