This week in 3D art, the children made penguins, polar bears and snowmen.
They use a dowel to scratch and attach the separate parts of their sculpture.
The creations were decorated with small beads and pipe cleaners.

The primary children tried a new skill called step fake. Here they take a step over the ball with one foot and kick it with the other.
The toddlers practiced catching and trapping by passing the ball back and forth with the coach before scoring goals.

Our friends from Mad Science returned this week to do a workshop called “Smoke and Bubbles”.
The primary children were introduced to dry ice, and the three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas.
Enjoy your weekend!
