Printing

We did some lovely printing using half of an apple. We did them in green in the outline of an apple. We think they look very nice.

Feeding the Birds

Last Thursday when we came back to school after the Christmas holidays the ground was hard with frost and it was very cold. Teacher told us that the little birds would not be able to find any worms now so we decided to put out our bird feeder. We put some nuts and water into it and then we put it on the outside of the window. We will check each day that there is food there for the birds so that they will not be hungry.

Patterns

In our Maths class we were looking at patterns. We found patterns on material, on paper, on bracelets and lots of other places. When we understood what patterns were we made our own patterns. We used links and made a chain with different coloured links creating a pattern. We also made our own bracelets using different coloured beads to create a pattern.

Recycling

We have been talking about recycling in class and we have been using our grey and green bins every day. Yesterday we went to the bottle banks and we saw the banks for the different coloured glass bottles. Teacher brought some glass bottles with her so we put them in the right banks. We had one juice tin so we put that in the bank for tins. We saw a bank for old clean clothes there too.
Back in class Leah showed us her lunch bag which was made from two recycled plastic bottles.

The Witches Walk

We had our annual Witches Walk on Friday October the 23rd. It was a very enjoyable day for all the children. Thanks to all the parents for dressing up the children and making the day so memorable for them. Thanks also for all the money you collected and donated.

Spiders

We made lovely spiders using clay and pipe-cleaners with Miss Newell. We rolled, pinched, banged and flattened the clay into a nice round flat shape. Then we put in the legs and bended them. Lastly we put on the eyes. It was a lot of work but we really enjoyed it. Have a look at us working.

Back to school

We are back to school since the first of September. There are 11 boys and 9 girls in our class now. The two new boys are Denis and Aaron. We have two Aarons in the class now. We are getting to know the new boys and we all get along very well together.

Picnic at the Beach

We went on a picnic to the beach last Wednesday. It was a beautiful day. We were all well prepared with our sun hats, sun protection cream and suitable clothing. It took us about half an hour to walk there. We had our picnic first at the picnic tables. We left the place really clean after us. Then we went down on the beach. Teacher told us to keep away from the water. We wrote our names on the sand, made sandcastles, played hopscotch and gathered shells and crabs. We had lots of fun but all too soon it was time to wash our hands under the tap and walk home again.

Crazy Hair Day

We had our Crazy Hair Day on Friday May 29th. Children were asked to be creative and wear a crazy hairstyle for the day. The day was a great success. Well done parents and children!. The money raised went towards funding for interactive whiteboards.

Butterflies

We were watching the cocoons in our Butterfly Garden for about two weeks. Eventually, one morning when we came into school, we noticed one of the butterflies had come out. Its wings were still damp so it could not fly yet. When all five butterflies came out we fed them bits of orange and banana as well as water and sugar. We released them on Friday the 29th of May. We were a little sad but happy to see them fly away. We still watch out for the butterflies when we are outside.
