Reception have been working hard this week to create their own beautiful Christmas decorations using our woodwork bench, saws and hand drills. They showed perseverance, resilience and patience whilst making their creations. Check out our Instragram page to see the finished results!
A huge thank you to Beth and Kelly from Crossbank Dental Care who came to visit the children in Nursery and Reception yesterday. They taught us all about which foods keep our teeth happy, which make them sad and how to brush them properly. We enjoyed some practical activities, games and even took home our own special goody bags including toothbrushes, toothpaste and timers to make sure we are brushing our teeth for long enough!
Class Three have had a busy week adapting recipes. We followed a basic shortbread recipe to learn the method. We then did a taste test, adding a range of ingredients to the shortbread recipe to see which flavours we enjoyed. Following this, the children designed their own shortbread, thinking carefully about their target audience. The children then made their own shortbread biscuits for the grown-ups at home. Finally, they thought carefully about packaging and designed a box for their shortbread including a company name.
Class 2 have been very busy using watercolours to draw buildings around our local area. We have observed shapes, lines and details carefully. Thank you to Sophie Martin who came and shared her expertise and her own artistic skills, the children loved seeing different pieces of artwork and mixing their own colours.
This week, Class 1 and Class 2 took to the stage to perform their nativity, A Midwife Crisis — and they were absolutely brilliant!
The children sang, acted, and narrated with such confidence and enthusiasm. It was wonderful to see all their hard work come together, and they truly brought the story to life.
A huge thank you to all the parents and carers for coming along to support the performance, for providing such fantastic costumes, and for helping the children learn their lines at home. Your support makes such a difference, and we really appreciate it.
Class 2 went on a walk around the village as part of their geography this term. We focused on looking for human and physical features, mapping skills and using a compass!
