St Elphin's CE Primary School

As part of our History topic on The Stone Age, the children in Year 3 had the amazing opportunity to take part in an interactive Stone Age workshop right here at school!

Delivered by Dan Tastic Education (www.dantasticeducation.com), this hands-on experience brought the Stone Age to life with costumes, real-life tools, and fascinating artefacts for the children to explore.

During the session, pupils were able to see, touch, and handle genuine Stone Age-style artefacts, helping them gain a real sense of what life was like thousands of years ago. In the extended “Spectacular Session,” children also had the chance to work in groups, draw and write about the artefacts, and deepen their historical understanding through creative activities.

In December our arts champions lauched a winter themed art competiton. Everyone was invited to create a piece of art work which shows the beauty of wintertime. We had a huge response so we asked Mrs McKinnon, one of our Governors, to help us decide on the winners. children from Nursery to Year 6 won prizes for their designs which are now proudly displayed in our entrance hall!

In November we invited our Arts Team Leaders and some other gifted artists from across school, to take part in a special ceramics session. The children designed and made a snowman trinket tray which was taken away, fired and glazed by our local artist Deb.
