🌍 Earth Day art in Year 2 🌍

-

🌍 Monday 22nd April is 'EARTH DAY!' 🌍 

Year 2 used this as an opportunity to refine their art skills, in particular using watercolour paints. We practised making sure the brush was wet, and experimented with dabbing water on the paper first and then adding colour from the paint palette. This was different to the poster paints that we often use. 

Our fine motor skills were also tested as we tried to concentrate on painting more delicately around the small lines on the Earth template. We enjoyed this activity as we have recently learnt about how to look after our environment!

Year 6's Final Week at St Pius X!

It has been such a busy couple of weeks celebrating Year 6 and all their achievements throughout their time at St Pius X. We could not be prouder of how they have grown and developed over the last few years and it has been wonderful to see them reflect on their time here. We started our celebrations with our Year 6 Leavers' Mass, where the children shared some of their most precious memories with our school community. Then, we enjoyed a leavers' lunch together outside - the cake was absolutely incredible! To round off the week, the children wowed us in their performance of Cinderella Rockerfella. The audience were captivated throughout the entire show and the children should be so proud of how amazing they were! Please click here to see some of the videos that were taken during the production.  We are so sad to say goodbye, Year 6. You will definitely be missed and we wish you the best of luck in your next chapter!
