Spring Term 1st Half

The children returned to school full of what they'd been up to over the Christmas break and were eager to tell us about presents they had received. We hope you enjoyed receiving the letters the child wrote to you. The children loved walking to the post box to post them and were excited to tell us that their letters had arrived home.

The children have had some interesting ideas about what they'd like to learn about in our class. We discussed about what our role play could become. To make a fair decision we had a vote and the most popular choice was a toy shop. We then discussed what they'd like to learn about and the children chose to learn about toys.

The children were very keen to talk to us about their own toys. Thank you for letting your child bring a toy from home to share with our class. Each child told the whole class about their toy and loved using an iPad to take their own photograph of their toy.

We wanted to make toys from junk materials. We had lots of fun making them and used our joining skills to create all sorts of toys.

Chinese New Year

We had a special visitor come to tell us all about Chinese dragons and lions. We all played instruments to wake the lion up. We had to make lots and lots of noise!

Two of us dressed up as the lion and danced around the hall. We danced with ribbons and loved making music.

Seeing the Chinese dragons was fantastic! Lots of us held them and moved around the hall. Each dragon was guided by one of us carrying the pearl. The dragon's head was quite heavy.

Chinese Food Tasting

We were very excited to taste some traditional foods. We could taste egg fried rice, noodles, spring onions, prawn crackers, soy sauce and bean sprouts. Some of us hadn't tried these foods before and lots of us decided we liked some of them!

Autumn Term 2nd Half

This half has been very busy indeed and we have learnt lots of new things!

We learnt about why we celebrate Remembrance Day on November 11th each year and why we wear poppies to help us think about people who lost their lives in wars and their families too. We enjoyed making our own poppies and selected which materials we wanted to use.

We went on a ramble through the heathland to raise money for BBC Children in Need. We had a great time walking with some Year 2 children but some of us said it made our legs hurt!

On Monday 18th November our grown ups joined us in school for a shared learning session. We were keen to show them some of the activities we enjoy at school.

Autumn Term 1st Half

Our First Weeks at School...

The children are experiencing lots of new activities at school. They have been busy learning in our classroom and outdoors. They have enjoyed Music, PE and visiting the our school library to select a book to share with you at home.
