The Comets class were effective contributors this week when making their salt dough pumpkins decorations. The children worked hard to make sure the measurements were correct for our salt dough.
We then molded the dough to make pumpkin shapes using string and our hands. After the pumpkins cooled down from the oven, we painted them and added some sparkle!

The Comets celebrated the religious festival of Diwali on Monday. We enjoyed learning about Diwali traditions and listening to stories about Rama and Sita.
The children had lots of fun creating Rangoli patterned plates. We worked very hard to take our time to create beautiful and unique designs.
The Comets have settled in well after the holidays and have been happy to see all of their friends.
As part of our theme work we have continued to enjoy the story of Fantastic Mr Fox- we are nearly at the end of the story!
The children have been successful learners this week and have produced wanted posters for Mr Fox. First, we created and wrote a description of Mr Fox and the crimes he has committed. Secondly, we followed a step by step tutorial to create our own drawing of Mr Fox for our posters. All of the children had fantastic listening and i’m sure you will all agree, produced some amazing work!
Have a lovely weekend,
From the Comets ladies.
The Comets have enjoyed time in the playground whilst it has been raining. We have experienced the sights and sounds of the rain.
Our favourite part was running and playing with our friends- just look at our faces!

The Comets have enjoyed different Harvest activities throughout the week. The children loved making our class scarecrow that was inspired by Farmer Boggis from Fantastic Mr Fox.
In addition to this, we loved making and tasting our Harvest apple punch.
The children were fantastic at sorting all of the different food items into the correct categories.

The Comets have enjoyed different maths activities over the week for National Maths Week.
We have explored coins up to £2 , enjoyed money monster games and created marshmallow shapes.
Maths week certificates for all of our hard work!
This week the Comets class were successful learners during Science. We were learning about Polar Bears and how they are able to keep warm in freezing cold temperatures.
Firstly, the children dipped their hands into icy water to feel how cold it was. From some of our reactions you can see it was freezing!
Secondly, we put our hands in a plastic bag and dipped them into the lard (blubber.) We then dipped our hands into the water again to see if there was a change in the temperature.
The children were all amazed at how much warmer their hands felt with the protective layer of blubber.
The Comets have been effective contributors for our Macmillian Coffee Morning. Today we have been very busy participating in different types of fun activities.
The children have designed their own cupcakes, enjoyed colouring in and made some delicious cakes- some of us even got to pretend to be Percy Pig!

Today the Comets class enjoyed a walk around the local area. The children were all very responsible and safe during our walk. We were fantastic at looking out for their friends which was lovely to see. The children listened carefully to all instructions and had lots of fun!
