Birsay land art competition - the winners are announced....

We can now reveal the winners of the land art competition which we asked you to vote on here. We were very pleased with the number of votes and all the comments that people added to our blog.

The voting was very close for quite a few days, then the puffin started to pull ahead - and it was declared the eventual winner when the poll closed, with 20 votes out of the total of 47 votes cast.

Here are the winners with their prizes.

Would you like to see us making our land art? Here we are ...

The quad bike looks much better with the drivers on it!

They had to spend a long time searching for the right shapes of stones for the wheels.

The starfish and spiral were both quite big - these photos should give an idea of the size.

Will you make something the next time you go to the beach?

Land Art at Birsay - please vote in our poll

When we were at Birsay beach we had a land art competition. Here are the things we made. Please vote (on the top right of this page) for which you think the winning piece of land art should be. The poll closes on 2nd June.

Everything was made with natural materials we found on the beach.

What would you make?

Our land art

Last week we looked at some land art made by Richard Shilling. We're hoping to make our own land art when we do some beach visits next term, but the snow inspired some of the girls and they spent break time making their own land art, and lunchtime repairing it!

Team work.

Reaching high to put the final pieces on.

Look at it - isn't it high?

"It's even higher than Mrs MacNab".

The rest of the class went out to see it in the afternoon when we went out to look at how our shadows had changed.
