Visiting Bodmin Fire Station

We loved visiting Bodmin Fire Station and meeting real life superheros. We learned what a fire fighter does, what equipment they need and even got to sit in the fire engine and squirt the hose.

Superhero Cityscapes

We have had great fun creating our 'Superhero Cityscapes', we looked at lots of pictures of cities at night and then used pastels to create the backgrounds. We created the silhouettes of the buildings using black paper and added brightly coloured lights.

Playing the Djembe Drums

We have really enjoyed learning to play the Djembe drums, this term with Mrs Tidball. It was great fun performing 'Bananas of the World Unite' and 'Kye Kye Kule' to the school.
