Amazing progress....
Wow! In just ten weeks, these children have worked so hard to improve their handwriting - well done!
Wildlife fun!
We have a great time in the wildlife area during Golden Time...
Hands on learning!
We had a few creepy visitors to class today. The children loved it and learned lots of new facts. Thank you Zoolab!
Castles
We used watercolours to create sunset skies, then we cut castles out of black paper.
After that, to create the stone walls, we used a small sponge to print grey paint, and oil pastel to create texture.
Finally, we added flags and windows.

This week, the children have been taking swabs of different items around the classroom, from door handles to keyboards, our own hands to the class pencils. Once swabs were taken, they were transferred to agar jelly samples in order to show how easily bacteria is spread and grown.
Watch this…
Peter Pan production!
This morning we were lucky enough to watch the pantomime Peter Pan. The show was fabulous, the children's behaviour was wonderful and the dancing was amazing!
We all had lots of fun and enjoyed every minute!
Attendance matters - some interesting statistics...
