The children are getting very good at helping to write the blog. Every Friday after brunch we talk about what we’ve learned and what we want to share with grown-ups at home. Here is what we came up with this week:

We went on a walk to see if there are any signs of spring. We saw daffodils, snowdrops, buds, crocuses, catkins, blossom, primrose and some birds nests.

We played in the classroom. We played with the numicon, at the writing table, in the flower shop, with the trains and bird watching.

We did some gardening. We were weeding. In the window we have our greenhouses with runnerbeans. Look out for the seeds germinating!

We learned the ‘th’ sound. To help us we read The Cat in the Hat and drew pictures of Thing 1 and Thing 2. We used black oil pastels to draw the Cat in the Hat and we painted a stripy background (pictures to follow next week).

This morning we had ‘a laugh with our class’ for Comic Relief. We did a quiz and told some of our favourite jokes.

What do you call a deer with no eyes? No eye deer!

What do you call a deer with no eyes and no legs? Still no eye deer!

What do you call a key that opens a banana? A monkey!

Why didn’t the skeleton go to the party? Because he had nobody to go with!

How did the cow cross the road? On his mooootorcycle!

Here are some more pictures we’ve chosen to share:
