Crafty Carvings!

This week, Year 4 have been working really hard to improve the garden area opposite the Year 5 classrooms.

We have been lucky enough to work with a company called Wooden Tiger - Gez, Maddy and Chris - who are very talented wood carvers.

We have all drawn our own personal design to do with the garden. Some of us did flowers, others did leaves, some did squirrels... Each of us then carved our design onto some brand new benches.

Some of our parents helped us, and so did Mrs Larder. We all think they look amazing. Have a look at the slideshow below to see some of us at work and our carved designs.



We have learned lots of new skills, like how to use a chisel and mallet safely. We have also learned new facts. For example, which do you think is more dangerous - a sharp chisel or a blunt one?

Find out in our next instalment!
