The Daisies Class had lots of fun during Singing Hands and Halloween activities. They were all effective contributors while taking part in the activities.

The Daisies Class were confident individuals during theme work, when they explored and tasted a range of different fruits. They then made a pictograph showing everyone’s favourites.


Every Friday the Sungazers have been successfully making a healthy breakfast and taking it in turns to serve it to their friends. We have also prepared breakfast snacks are served them to our peers in other classes as well. We have all enjoyed making, serving and tasting a variety of different healthy breakfast ideas. Our favourite ones were toast and bagels.

On Monday mornings the Transition Class have been taking part in pool zumba sessions, led by Mrs McGowne.

The focus this term has been on pool safety and I am delighted to say that all of the boys have displayed excellent behaviour and followed the pool safety rules really well this term.
Superb!
The Transition class have been busy creating the characters from their book study, Thumble Tumble and the Ollpheist by A.H Proctor.

The excellent descriptions of the witches in the book have allowed the pupils to gather relevant materials from the art room which would best suit the characters.
We are beginning the sensory art journey with Thumble Tumble and Aunt Bessie…
Super successful learners today. Well done boys!


* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS *
The Bluebells class were very brave when trying a range of themed foods today. We tried a range of foods that were in our theme film “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”. We tried watermelon, pretzels, chicken nuggets, hamburger, ice cream and even sardines!
All pupils tolerated tasting these foods or giving them a kiss.

The Snowdrops have been thinking about our Enormous Turnip story theme and choosing if we have liked or not liked the story. We can do this through looking at pictures and using our Makaton signs. Some pupils have also been choosing what has been their favourite Enormous Turnip story work. We all like different things!

Apologies for the lack of a comet class blogs this term, the technology had been failing us! Now that everything is working I would like to catch you up on what Comet class has been busy doing so far this year.
James and the Giant Peach
Our class theme for the first term was James and the Giant Peach. The class loved hearing about James and all his insect friends as they travelled across the world. Matching the characters, making a giant peach, creating our own ‘green things recipe, researching New York and acting out our story were just a few of the activities we have done.





Science
We have been doing lots of fun (and messy) science experiments this term. We have blown up balloons with carbon dioxide, made clouds in a bottle, dropped eggs without them smashing (sometimes) and made wind dials. These experiments have been lots of fun and we will keep doing them all year.

Cookery
Comet class has been very busy in the cookery room this year, making a variety of different food and drinks. This term we have made rice crispy cakes, burgers, fruit salads, milkshakes and scrambled eggs.

I hope this has caught you up on some of the activities we have been doing in Comet Class. Check back for weekly blogs!
The Sungazers class were certainly confident individuals dressing up and joining in all of the Halloween activities on Friday. We all had great fun!

The Moonbeams made some biscuits during their Cookery lesson. We have been learning how to keep safe in the Cookery room when using appliances. Today we used the oven and identified that we needed oven gloves to keep our hands safe. The children enjoyed using a variety of coloured icing to decorate the biscuits before visiting the Comets class to sell them.
