The Moonbeams have enjoyed listening to a story about families this week. The children explored how families are all different; some large, some small, different races and genders. The children learned that even though families are different;  they all love each other and want the best for each other and enjoy doing fun things together.

The children had fun making up different families with cut out characters and identifying who they were and then they drew the family who they lived with.

The Moonbeams enjoyed learning about how Chinese New Year is celebrated. The children explored some objects of significance and tasted some vegetable spring rolls and prawn crackers. Some of the children were confident enough to try eating with chopsticks too!

The Moonbeams have enjoyed learning about what birds eat this week. The pupils explored birds seeds and then mixed up some ingredients to create Bird Feeders. The children all really enjoyed this learning activity and worked well together. Our plan is to hang the feeders in the garden and check everyday to see if the birds are eating from them.  We hope the birds enjoy their food!

The Moonbeams have been busy preparing for and making Pizza this week. They created posters to show what flavours of Pizza they were selling and made a shopping list of ingredients to take to Tesco. On Friday afternoon the children very responsibility made the Pizza and then visited the Comets class to sell for 10p per slice. The children used their maths skills to recognise the coins and numbers on the till. They were very happy as we had some left over to take home to their families.

The Moonbeams enjoyed their science experiment this afternoon. We made ice cream in a bag. The children concentrated while holding and pouring the ingredients. We explored what the ingredients looked and felt like before being shaken in the bag of ice with salt and then we compared it afterwards to see the change. The children also enjoyed having a taste of the finished result. Yummy!

The Moonbeams have been working together this week to make Reindeer Noses and Build a Snowman sweetie bags to sell at the Christmas Market. The children applied their counting skills when counting out how many of each item they needed and were very responsible when working together to close the bags.  We hope everyone likes them at the Market tomorrow.
