Hickory Dickory Dock Clocks

The children loved the story of the Hickory Dickory Dock Clock and set to work creating their own versions.

Their clock needed tp have numbers, hands, switches and passcodes to work.  The final Clocks were great and the children loved showing  them to the class.

Many of the children wrote about their clocks and how they had made them.

First Day of Term 3

The children had a great time today exploring and playing with the new resources ready for them in the classroom.

The vets area was really popular and the children worked together to plan out what they would need in the vets to look after the animals.

They collaborated and worked well together to build the train set. It was great to listen to their conversations and how they shared their ideas. The children also loved investigating the snow and ice in the water tray.

Lots of great vocabulary and science going on.

They spent part of the day outdoors, making the most of the snow. It was amazing to see the friendships, teamwork, problem solving and creativity going on. They had so much fun.

Just before they headed back indoors it was time for a photo with their igloo and snowman.

 

The Build Up to Christmas

The children loved the lead up to Christmas in the classroom. There were lots of opportunities for craft, writing  and number activities every day.

They enjoyed hearing the story about the birth of baby Jesus and of course did an amazing job performing at the Christmas Concert.

Every week the children have french lessons so they learned a little bit about french traditions and how children in France celebrate Christmas.

Here, the children played ‘Christmas in France’ and have left their shoes under the Christmas tree for Father Christmas to know where to leave the presents.

On the final day of term the children played Christmas Party games.
