Well on our final morning in school before Christmas, Year 2 have been making Christmas trees and decorating them using the most glittery jewels and sparkles imaginable!
Have a wonderful break with your children and we will see you in 2021!
The Y3 children enjoyed a unique World Book Day that involved children learning in school and at home. Children designed masks that represented one of their favourite books and took part in a wide variety of Literacy activities. One of the activities involved learning writing tips from famous authors; I’m sure many of our Y3 children will go on to become fantastic writers in the future!
Year One have had a fantastic week getting ready for Santa Claus. We have made moving Christmas cards, calendars and had our Christmas party.
We ended our final day watching Christmas films and singing songs. Mrs Dunn and I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and we look forward to seeing you all in the New Year.
Year 2 have had an exciting few weeks in Design and Technology designing, planning, creating and evaluating their very own puppets! Our science topic of Living Things and Their Habitats helped children choose the theme of the puppets as mini-beasts.
Our unit has allowed children to research different types of puppets and look at the origins of some of the more common puppets we see today. Children loved the history behind famous puppets such as Punch and Judy and The Muppets!
They did a great job planning the design they wanted to make and thinking about the materials they would like to use (some rather imaginative I must say!) 🙂
Before we were able to create our masterpieces though we had to actually MAKE the puppet, by sewing together fabric using a running stitch. I’m sure you’ll agree they all did a fantastic job as lots of them had never even threaded a needle before so I was very impressed 🙂
Enjoy looking through our photos, the puppets will be winging their way home to you very soon!
