This week we have enjoyed the lovely sunshine. We decided to take our Numeracy outside and explore using the signs for equal and not equal. We collected natural materials that we could find in our garden.

This week in Writing, we explored a story that is favourite of our class, Chicken Licken. We created story maps to help us to remember the events of the story and allow us to retell it. Then we wrote the beginning of the story.

During Literacy, we have been exploring using speech marks to show when a character is speaking. Chicken Licken likes to say “the sky is falling!” We used macaroni to add speech marks into sentences.

Have a lovely weekend!

It was lovely to welcome everyone back from the Easter Holidays, especially as we celebrated Crookfur Culture Week! We have taken part in lots of fun activities to learn all about Ramadan and Eid.

1. We had a special visitor who shared experiences of celebrating Ramadan and Eid. She was impressed with all of our knowledge!
   
   We had PE in the classroom this week and had a go at trying Bollywood dancing. We also looked at dances from other cultures like Ireland & South Africa.
   
   We created our own henna patterns and translated our names into Arabic! On Friday, some of us enjoyed getting lovely henna patterns on our hands.
   
   In the Woodland, we made prayer mats using natural materials.
   What a fabulous week celebrating Eid! Have a lovely weekend.
