This week has been very busy in the Comets class. We started the week looking at Chinese New Year and made our own Chinese lanterns. The Comets also wrote their own names in Chinese by looking at a Chinese alphabet and picking out the letters of their names. We worked on numbers and did some Chinese sums. The comets enjoyed looking at videos about Chinese New Year and how it is celebrated around the world.
We then looked at the Kelpies. The comets enjoyed watching videos and looking at pictures of the kelpies and how they were made. They liked the story of the Kelpies. We then made our own Kelpies with different coloured tissue paper and black card. We then had the challenge of coming up with our own mystical creature using salt dough. The comets made the salt dough by themselves and measured out all the ingredients. We then made out creatures and will paint them next week when they are dry.
We made our own jam sandwiches/toast. The comets spread the jam and then made themselves a cup of tea to go with their food. The sandwiches and tea were a hit.
This week we have been going over some life skills. The comets worked together to wash and dry dishes, sweep the floor and wipe down the tables. Comets did really well with these life skills and worked together very well.
