Welcome to the Spring Term our topic is ‘Into the Woods.’
We have had a fabulous introduction to the topic with a visit from the Birds of Prey centre. The children had the opportunity to see some birds of Prey up close and the teachers had the opportunity to hold the owl!
Thank you all for your support in settling the children into their new classes. It has helped us get the year off to a wonderful start! Our topic this term is 'Marvellous me' and we have been busy learning about ourselves.
This half term, we are reading stories that are set in the woods. This week our story was 'The Gruffalo'. We have enjoyed many activities based around the story.
Just before half term we learned all about Chinese New Year. Two children bought in red paper lanterns and dragons to show us. Angelo told us, "We hang them up in our houses for Chinese New Year!" We all had a go a making the lanterns and dragons.
As part of our ‘Marvellous Me’ topic, we have been learning all about our teeth. We learnt that all the children have 20 teeth. We practiced counting to 20 and some of us even rolled out the play dough and pretended it was a mouth and put 20 teeth (beans!) into it!
