St Aidan's art wall

This month there are two individual competitions and a special third competition for the whole class to vote on!

Competion 1 - Make a figure made of clay/fimo/play dough – make it funny, creative and clever!

Competition 2 – Design an energy saving poster to tell people to switch off lights and taps etc.

Competition 3 – Design a flag to represent the class you’re moving into – work alone or with a friend or two. In September the class and your new teacher can vote on their choice – that flag can be the class flag for the year!

To enter, you can either photograph or scan your pictures (email to editor@staidansprimaryschool.org.uk) or you can leave the actual picture in the Website inbox in the office with your name, class and age on the back. Have fun! Closing date: Friday 11th of September and the winners announced on the 18th!

In June, we asked you to paint a picture of a bird in season Congratulations to Luke and Mabel in Reception and Mabel in Year 5 for their winning entries.

Did you know that…?

Each night wasps dig their jaws into plant stems, stretch out at right angles and go to sleep! BBuZzzz! Ouch!

There are 47 different types of lady bird and now there’s a new one!

A new ladybird has arrived in Britain, but not just any ladybird: this is the harlequin ladybird. Friend or foe?
