World Book Day

It was World Book Day on 7th March and we got to come to school dressed as our favourite book characters.

We joined up with our buddies in 3rd Class to do some Paired Reading. We really enjoyed parading around the school yard in our costumes for everyone to see.

Lego Spike

We are very lucky to have gotten 5 Lego Spike Kits to use at school. Using the iPads we built a boat by following the step by step instructions on screen.

We worked together in groups to engineer this project. The final challenge was to make the boat move and add sound effects. Coding was used for this part.

We can't wait to get building again. There was a real buzz about the classroom for this lesson.

Pancake Tuesday

We enjoyed making and decorating some pancakes with our favourite toppings for Shrove Tuesday.

Some of our favourites were chocolate spread, marshmallows, sprinkles and maple syrup. Just yummy!

Wellbeing Week

As part of Wellbeing Week we got to go outside to play some playground games and well-known board games.

Other activities we engaged in were Musical Statues, Red Light Green Light and Just Dance.

We also did some Mindfulness Colouring, Meditation and Yoga as well listening to Mindfulness Music throughout the week. It was a very positive experience.

Clay Snowmen

We thoroughly enjoy working with clay and recently made some clay snowmen.

First we rolled and shaped the clay into spheres. We used these for the snowman's head and body. 

Next we decorated the snowmen with beads, buttons and matchsticks. Finally we painted the snowmen.

We had great fun during our Halloween Fun Day. The day started with our annual Halloween Parade.

Followed by some tricks and treats. We played Snap Apple, Floury Grape and bobbed for tasty treats.

Check out the homepage for more photos of our cool costumes!

For Halloween we decided to bake some pumpkin cookies. We used butter, sugar and flour to make the cookie dough.

We rolled the dough out with a rolling pin and used a pumpkin cutter to cut the cookies out.

Then we placed them onto a baking tray. When they were baked and cooled we spread some icing sugar on, to which we added orange food colouring.

The cookies were delicious!

We recently celebrated Friendship Week in school. We discussed How to be a Good Friend.

We made friendship crowns as well as friendship bracelets. We really enjoyed making and decorating these.

The garden is bearing lots of fruits and vegetables after the summer holidays. 

We tasted raspberries and peas and loved the smell of the lavender. Our sunflowers have grown really tall. 

We weeded our vegetable box and gave everything a good watering.

We just absolutely enjoy doing free play. We get to choose our favourite games to play with our friends.

Some of our favourite activities are Lego, chess, playdough, snakes and ladders and Hedbanz.
