We have been reading the fairy tale ‘The Ugly Duckling’. We had a go waddling like a duck!
We were set the challenge of making a 10s frame using resources from the classroom. Here are some of them.
We had a letter from the Easter bunny. He sent us on an Easter egg hunt. We had to complete challenges at each stop and at the end there were some chocolate eggs for us.
We are learning about Spring. We went into groups and we were set the challenge of making a daffodil using only one type of material. We could use either straws, paper, tubes or paper plates. What do you think?
We have been learning about homes around the world so we decided to make our own houses using different materials.
We had great fun celebrating Pancake Day by making pancakes and having some pancake races.
We have been celebrating Chinese New Year.
This term we are learning about the world around us. Our first stop has been The Arctic. After watching a video about building an igloo we had great fun building our own.

We made a Christingle to represent the start of Advent.
We went down to the Woods to make Stick Man.
We have been celebrating ‘Diwali’, the festival of light. We have acted out the story of Rama and Sita. We made rangoli patterns and little diva lamps from clay. We also tasted some Indian food.

We finished off our learning about Guy Fawkes by toasting some marshmallows in the woods.
We had a great time at our annual firework party.
We have been celebrating fireworks night. We printed pictures of bonfires and fireworks. We have also made sparklers using breadsticks, sprinkles and chocolate.
