Foxes and Owls

 The Foxes and Owls participated in our whole school cross country tournament in their  bubbles.  They had great fun completing 3 laps. The overall winner of the race went to the blue house - well done!

This week, during our welly walk , Foxes planted out the broad beans they had grown from seed into our raised flower beds in our sensory garden.

The children learnt some Indian dancing in their PE sessions..

We celebrated the best of British this week! We learnt all about the Queen and some London Landmarks. The children had an afternoon tea party (inviting Year Ones) with cucumber sandwiches and a cream tea with scones, jam and cream. They joined in with a circle dance and finished the weeks learning with some great British chip shop chips!! A great time had by all.

The children had great fun on world book day dressing up in their book characters. Poppies learnt all about Axel Schiffler the illustrator who worked alongside Julia Donaldson. We read lots of his books including Zog and the Flying doctors. We made some gold star badges, carried out some colour mixing and printing as well as some pencil drawings.

What a fantastic start to our new topic, 'All Around the World'.  The children have enjoyed sharing the story of Handa's Surprise, tasting different fruits featured in the story and locating their origin on the globe. We were lucky enough to have a visit from Kwame who shared music and art from his home country of Ghana.  The children throughly enjoyed his music and were inspired to have a go back in the classroom. "The man was banging a drum very loud." Dylan 'Its a long way away and you have to go on a plane.  He lives in a village." Enes "The music was lovely." Nayana The children continued with African  drumming in their music sessions this week. The children experimented cut up fruits and paint to make printed pictures... They have enjoyed using the travelling machine in the classroom I wonder where it will take us next week?
