GARDEN GNOMES <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

GARDEN GNOMES are small figurines often used to decorate gardens. Some of the first gnome statues to be mass-produced came from GERMANY in the 1870s. In Germany, gnomes were originally tied to traditional stories and superstitions and were believed to help around the farm and the mines. They later became household decorations. Gnome statues range in size and style and have been made from materials like wood, stone and clay. They usually feature a traditional pointy red<\/span> hat. The children listened so well and followed the instructions to create these delightful gnomes.\u00a0 Each one has it’s own personality that you can see from their expression.\u00a0 It would be impossible to choose a favourite.\u00a0 Well done Reception children.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

DALA HORSES<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dalecarilian horses, or DALA HORSES for short, are traditional carved Swedish wooden statues. They are named after the province they originated in, Dalecarlia, SWEDEN. Dala horses were originally carved as children\u2019s toys, but have now come to be recognised as a symbol for Sweden. The most common form of the Dala Horse is a red body with white, green, yellow and blue saddle and harness.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The children created a ‘repeating pattern’ background and then decorated their own Dala horses and glued them onto the background.\u00a0 They look totally fab!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
