We really enjoyed coming to school dressed for the festive season today.  We had lots of fun doing some Christmas counting, writing letters to Santa Claus and completing some Christmas art and crafts.

Well done Class 6! Once again you have produced some amazing projects all about famous people in England. Some of you focused on Guy Fawkes and others on Oliver Cromwell. I am always impressed with the time and effort which goes into these projects. I hope you have enjoyed working as a family to create these.

Here are some examples of our projects.

Welcome aboard the Polar Express…

What at an amazing, fun filled day we have all had in Class 3 today.

This morning we made our very own Polar Express train boxes and completed some fun Polar Express activities.

Our boxes were so creative that the Christmas elves visited during our lunchtime and filled them with surprises!

This afternoon we settled down in our pyjamas to watch the movie.

We enjoyed cookie snacks, a surprise cake from Cooper and Mrs Ferguson and Mrs Weatherill danced up and down the aisles, serving our chocolate milk!

We have had a wonderful day!

Take a look at some of the fantastic winter projects that have been brought into school.  We have some very creative children and parents!

A very big thank you to all of our parents and carers for supporting your child’s learning at home and school.

Today we learnt all about the advent wreath and that advent is a time of waiting.

We made our own advent wreaths using green handprints to show the everlasting love of Jesus.

We also talked about how we prepare for Jesus’ birthday as we made our own paper chains and decorated our classroom.

Take a look at some of the fantastic work that we have been doing in class 1.

After going on a winter walk we were really interested to see how the trees had changed.  We decided to create our own winter tree pictures using a blow technique and then we added some ice and snow!

We created our own labels for our trees using describing words.

We also had lots of fun using solid cylinder shapes to create our own penguins!

We had a great time sharing our learning with our parents and carers, on our first Family Friday. We had great fun doing dough disco together and enjoyed showing our parents/carers our new classroom.  Phonics is very important in Class 1, so our parents learned how to help us with our phonics at home.
