Magnolia Blossoms with Sam

Today we concentrated on painting Magnolia Blossom.

More poems - Langsdale by Tommy Glow

Langsdale

It was the Langsdale classic

A fell race just for fools,

We did it on our two tired legs

We should have been on mules.

The race it was a long way out

And a long way up ,

The runners got a medal,

The winner got ac cup.

Half way around, upon a hill,

I tripped against a tree,

I finished up in hospital

With a titanium knee.

I felt so stupid

I don’t know why,

I didn’t laugh

But I didn’t half cry!

Wood Sculptures in Court Farm Woods

Becky Bryson and Carole trenaman have had the privilege of working with Halewood C of E Primary school in gathering their ideas for new wood sculptures in Court Farm Woods.
Years 4 and 5 shared their ideas with us, and we took their drawings to incorporate into some fantastic new creations. The carvings were executed by two great carvers, Mike and Andy Burgess.

Year 4's ideas centred on the woods being a place for wildlife. It being a fun, friendly place, to go with lots to see.

So their sculpture incorporated lots of images of things that lived in the woods and their usefulness.

One child wrote “You are always welcome here” which we thought should show on one of the faces.

A beehive hanging from

  a branch, showing our reliance on the work the bees do, is to be placed on the second side.

Finally, a butterfly, fungi, and snail make their home on the third side.
