The Sunflower boys are very tired this week. We went to Burger King on Monday and had our snack and enjoyed playing in the soft play. On Wednesday we had our Easter service assembly. We sang our two Easter songs we had been learning in class, and one of the boys was an egg at the front for “Spring Chicken”.
On Thursday for cookery we had sausages and toast and made a chocolate brownie for our afternoon snack. We covered strawberries in white chocolate with orange food colouring to look like carrots.
We also made our special cards and gifts for the special lady in each of our lives. We will be sending them home for Mother’s Day on Sunday.
Hope you all have a super holiday. 
We wore odd socks to school to raise awareness of Down Syndrome. We did a matching sock activity and went on a sock hunt around the school. It was great fun. The boys were successful learning in finding and matching all the different patterned socks.
We have been doing lots of science experiments for science week this week. on Monday it was science day and the boys went around different experiment stations through the school which included making our own lava lamps, rocket launchers, lego volcanos and blowing a balloon with baking soda.
Today is Purple Friday. We are having whole school activities. This morning all the primary classes came together in the hall to share their learning and activities completed about their LGBT book. All classes also shared their song/jingle about family. Some classes shared a video and some classes performed it live. The Sunflowers had made rainbow pizzas and shared this. The Daisies shared similarities and differences from their book Giraffe’s Can’t Dance. The Snowdrops performed their family jingle live with makaton signing. The Bluebells performed their song live. The Sungazers class has symbols to show the audience so we could participate too. The Stars showed a video of their song as some of their friends were on their outing. The Moonbeams had a board to share their learning and have used technology to complete their rainbow flag.
This was our class assembly. We had been reading the story “The Enormous Turnip” in class and it was about working together to complete a task, as the farmer could not pull the turnip out of the ground on his own. We all sat at the front of the assembly hall facing our friends. We were able to hold up the different characters in the story. We also made our own enormous turnip to show all of our friends.
