Santa's Little Helpers!


The children have been working very hard over the last few weeks to prepare for their performance. And it paid off with a great performance and lots of happy, smiling children on stage! They have worked together to develop actions for their class song.



























The children also explored the concept of using a green screen and were able to join Santa in his workshop! They then used these images to create the front of their Christmas Card.

Running, Writing and... Marshmallows!

Image
This week the children have discussed a series of pictures and then written a story about what happened. The story involved a monster creeping up behind a boy toasting marshmallows on a camp fire. As we all (including Ms Thurlow and Ms Cherry) love marshmallows so much we decided to make a Cadbury's hot chocolate, marshmallow drink. We predicted whether the chocolate powder would dissolve better in cold or hot water... and the result was, of course hot water. Did you know that if you are going to have hot chocolate then you also need biscuits to dip in it? During our English lessons we have been reading the story of The Turtle and the Monkey. This week we have planned our own version of this story, by changing parts of the story. We have also begun to create a story S to tell our stories by drawing the illustrations. Next week we will add the writing to our story S.

This morning all of the children arrived at school full of excitement and big smiles on their faces! They enjoyed looking at each others clothes. We were very lucky because Santa took time out of his busy schedule to pay us a visit! We were SO EXCITED and jumped all over Santa! Fortunately we have all made it onto Santa's 'Good List'! PARTY TIME!!

Awesome Artists

This week the children have designed and made price labels for their bags for life, ready to sell to their parents. The money raised will be donated to Clown Eckie for the charity 'A Gift of Happiness'. https://www.gohappiness.org/ The children have also begun to think about their contribution to the back drop for the Early Years and Key Stage 1 Performance. They are creating repeating patterns on pyjamas. The first part of this process was to draw their designs on paper. They then put the paper on top of a polystyrene tile and pressed the pencil through the paper where they had drawn lines. The children will then use acrylic paints to create the printed images... look out for them when you are watching the Performance!
