Easter Egg Competition

 

Dear Parents/Carers,

On 29th March 2018 we will be hosting our third House Challenge. The Challenge was decided by House and Vice Captains and will involve children designing a hard-boiled egg in keeping with the theme chosen for their house.

Children should wear an accessory of their house colour on the day but remain in full school uniform for the Easter service.

The chosen themes by house and vice captains are:

  • Oak: Film Stars
  • Cedar: Book Characters
  • Poplar: Superheroes
  • Beech: TV Stars (Cartoons, reality, presenters etc…)
  • Maple: Pop Stars/ Musicians

Eggs should be designed at home, by children for homework throughout the week of 26th March 2018 and brought into school on 29th March for the House Challenge. Eggs will be shown within the class and children will have the opportunity to discuss their design process. There will be one winner selected from each house, per stage. A winner will be selected per house for both nursery am and pm children. All winners from this round will earn 5 points for their house and a special treat!

These winning designs will then be looked at more closely by our judges who will decide on an overall first, second, third, fourth and fifth place house who will win 100, 75, 50, 25 and 10 points respectively. Our judging process and revealing of the winners will be live-tweeted so that pupils can watch from their classrooms, nursery am children can watch from home and parents can find out the results all at the same time!

This challenge should be a lot of fun and we cannot wait to see all of the designs!

Happy egg-decorating!

Chinese New Year

Mrs Geary  ( aka Robert’s mum) came in to visit us this morning.   She told us all about Chinese New Year.  It was amazing.  She taught us how to write “Happy New Year” in Mandarin  and we all got to try the chopsticks.  They were great fun! ( we loved them so much that we are using them to pick up the water beads in the tuff tray)

Mrs Geary told us all about why there are animals for every year.  We are mostly snakes and dragons in 1.4.    Mrs Hamilton knew her entire family!

Mrs Geary has given us all red envelopes and chopsticks to take home.  That was very kind of her.   We have learned so much today.  Thank you, Mrs Geary.
