Mr Mackle's Primary 5 class have been busy this week exploring their topic 'Habitats.' Today the boys and girls went for a nature walk in our community down by the leisure centre. This experience allowed our children to acknowledge how important Habitats are and why. The 'River Walk' offered children an opportunity to see why trees, woodland and rivers offer animals and insects so much. It was a brilliant experience and in groups children were able to capture images of trees, squirrels, insects, birds and beehives. The children were then asked to gather some sticks, leaves and buttercups/daisies to help with a digital art activity in the afternoon. In groups they produced a piece of 'Madala Art.'
The children really responded positively to this active learning approach and as you can see some of the art pieces are excellent. Well done Primary 5!
