Reindeer cards

Today we have been busy creating reindeer cards with year 6. We used our hands and feet to create the reindeer face and antlers.

Christmas party

We had lots of fun at our Christmas party on Friday.  We played pass the parcel,  musical bumps and ate lots of delicious food.

Christmas lunch

Today was Christmas lunch. We each created hats, pulled crackers and listened to Christmas songs.

3D shapes

This week our maths focus is 3D Shapes. We have been using this song at the start of our carpet sessions that the children enjoy and you may want to try at home!

 



3D Shapes that I know

 

 



We have also done this poem:

 

3D shapes are fat not flat

A cone is like a party hat

A sphere is like a bouncy ball

A prism is like a building tall

A cylinder is like a can of pop

A cube is like the dice you drop

3D shapes are here and there,

3D shapes are everywhere!



Play tomorrow

We performed our play to the whole school today and are looking forward to performing it to you all tomorrow!

Doors open at 2pm and it will last about 40 minutes.

After the performance we will take all children back to the classrooms and change them. You can collect your child from the classroom as soon as they are ready (probably around 3.00) Please do not try to collect your child from the hall or stage as we need to dismiss them from the classroom.

Photos of your child will also be avaliable to  buy for £5 at the back of the hall!

Trip to the Post Office

Both classes had a good trip to the Post Office and the children were excited to post their letters to Father Christmas x

Christmas is Coming!

Over night our classrooms have begun their transdormation into Christmas wonderlands.
Today we have been busy creating paper chains to add to our decorations and decorating our tree!

Gruffalo crumble

Today we made Gruffalo crumble,  we couldn't find a Gruffalo so we used apples instead!

We also tasted scrambled snake (scrambled egg) and roasted fox (Carrot and butternut squash)

We really enjoyed the roasted fox but for many of us the scrambled snake was disgusting!!

Gruffalo week!

We are all ready for our Gruffalo week!l

Where the Wild Things Are

This week our book focus is Where the Wild Things Are.

Post Office Change of Date

Handa's Surprise

We enjoyed reading the story of Handa's surprise. After reading the story we tasted fruits such as orange, mango, pineapple and guava- we discovered that most of us liked orange best and nobody at all liked the taste of the avocado!

We also looked closely at different fruits and painted them.
