Christmas time!

Christmas - what a busy time of year!! We enjoyed taking part in our Christmas concert 'Sparkle' -we learnt lots of songs, which we sang beautifully on the stage. We have also been busy writing letters to Santa and calenders and tree decarations. We can't wait to bring them home to show our parents.

Room on the Broom

Last Thursday Bigfoot (a drama company) came to vist classes 1,2 and 3. They spent the day working with the boys and girls on drama activities based on the story Room on the Broom. On Friday 2 big coaches arrivied and we went on a trip to the New Theatre in Cardiff. We saw Room to the Broom and there was lots of singing and dancing. We really enjoyed the trip!

Divali Celebrations in Class 1

We have been learning about the Hindu festival of Divali (the festival of light). We enjoyed the story of Rama and Sita and we have been making puppets of them. We used clay to make diva lamps to use in our celebrations. We have made rangoli patterns with powders paints in the playground.

It's Autumn

We have been learning about autumn. We put on our wellies and went looking for signs of autumn. it was fun crunching the leaves that had fallen off the trees.We sorted the leaves conkers, acorns and cones that we found into sets. We had a pumpkin in class, it was heavy. We looked at it carefully.When the top was cut off we saw lots of seeds inside.

Jaws Paws & Claws

This week we learnt about 2D shapes. We made pictunres of pets using triangles, recangles and circles. We played with shapes and used them to make our chrismas cards for the PFA fundraiser.

Bathing the baby.

This term we have been doing all about growth and looking at ourselves. We have made a class book of how we looked when we were babies and how we have grown now. Kurt brought his baby sister in for us to see her having a bath.We would like to say thank you to Kurt and his mum ,we did enjoy the morning!!!!!!!!!

It's hot, hot, hot!

I have been asked by several parents about applying suncream. We have been advised not to do this, so we suggest that you apply a long lasting protection cream to your child during the summer months. If your child has exceptional circumstances then please come and see me and we will come to some arrangement. As the hot weather continues, it is important to provide your child with a sun hat and water bottle to keep the children hydrated.

Thank you for providing the children with trainers for sports day practise. The sprint is going well and we will be working on our obstacle course later on in the week. I will let you know about your child's team colour soon as it is nice if the children could wear something of their house colour on the day.
