The Planets class enjoyed some Macmillan celebrations today. We had to create a gingerbread man’s head using rich tea biscuits. We decorated using icing sugar and a range of sweeties.
We also worked together to turn a yule log into a Colin the Caterpillar. We took turns choosing what to use to decorate and had lots of fun!
The Transition boys were Responsible Citizens this Friday when they took part in some Macmillan Cancer Support tasks. The boys decorated a biscuit to make a head and face for a gingerbread man and then they decorated part of a swiss roll to make a caterpillar ( caterpillars seem to be a recurring theme in the class this week!)
The Stars class made mars bar cake which we sold in school for Macmillan Day. There was only one piece left………….and that didn’t last long back in class! We are proud to say we made £9.90 to donate to the appeal. We participated in Friday afternoon activities. We iced biscuits, created a colourful cupcake picture, made a fizzing green volcano and enjoyed sensory handling. A great afternoon was had by all.

The Bluebells class loved today’s Macmillan celebrations. We made green cupcakes, green jelly, grape caterpillars and fruit turtles to share with our friends during the Infant corridor get together.
We also made Macmillan monsters during art and had some sensory play with more green jelly!
Today we had a Macmillan snack morning with all the other infant classes. Yesterday during our cookery time we decorated cakes and biscuits with two different types of icing and used sprinkled. We had to use the rolling pin to roll one type of icing and then mix the other type using a spoon. We had lots of fun and were confident at rolling and mixing independently at times. Today we sat at a very long table in the corridor with lots of our friends and ate some green snacks and some of our own snacks too. It was an enjoyable morning.

The Bluebells class enjoyed decorating some green themed cupcakes ahead of Macmillan on Friday. We used green icing which we had to roll and cut into circles. We also got to be creative using the gel pens and used sprinkles and green smarties.
The Stars Class made Mars Bar cake to share with our friends. We enjoyed sensory activities, had a ‘green’ tea party and made a handprint green frog picture. We also had a visit from Harley, the French bulldog, at Pet Therapy.
