We got so inspired by Skellig by David Almond that we decided to make classroom wings for ourselves @Centralprimary! Every pupil painted a few feathers and we attached all of them together. The outcome looks great! #ArtIsCentral
If you are in need of a smile today please scroll down & watch the video π Year 5 have learnt about the NZ kiwi, but I think these quirky birds pip them to the post for uniqueness & cuteness π @Centralprimary@MissMyllymaki@MissFLane@boardman_ms@MrsGuthrie19 @MsZimmatore

Spring is in the air! πΌ Why not take advantage of the nice weather to go on a colour hunt using the #Naturenauts game? Explore your garden or local area using only your phone or tablet. How many colours can you find?
Today we're celebrating a success story.
