The Planets Class enjoyed an interactive magic carpet experience. We sat on our own magic carpet and enjoyed feeling like we were flying through the sky and visiting Princess Jasmine’s palace.
We have been having lots of fun learning all about the story of ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’.
We were successful learners and answered lots of questions about the story then made confident choices to create our own artwork of a magic bean, just like Jack traded his cow for in the story.

Making a bear sandwich.
We looked at the ingredients we needed to make a bear sandwich. We needed bread, chocolate spread, banana and blueberries. We each got a slice of bread and used a knife to spread the chocolate spread on the bread. We then sliced the banana to create a nose and ears for the bear. We then chose blueberries to add to make two eyes and the tip of his nose. The boys loved creating this and were able to spread with physical support from staff. They enjoyed seeing their final creation and some tried it at snack time.

The Planets class enjoyed making a magic carpet themed snack today. We used ryvita crackers and mixed butter icing and tried to make it a purple colour. We added some fruit to create a pattern!
We were all very brave and enjoyed tasting!
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS *
The Planets class enjoyed colouring in and decorating their own magic lamps. We loved using self adhesive gems and jewels to decorate them.
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS *
The Planets class recycled cardboard tubes and tried to turn them into our favourite theme characters. We made Aladdin, Jasmine and the genie.
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS *
The Planets class had a quick recap of the story of Aladdin. We had retained lots of information over our holidays.
We managed to work together and sort the scenes in the correct order.
We also tried to sort the main characters into good and evil character traits.
Finally, we chose our overall favourite characters!
