Santa’s Little Helpers

Thank you everyone for completing your home learning.  You drew and listed lots of things that you thought should be included in our Santa’s Workshop!  Now we have a fantastic Santa’s Workshop in class 1.  We can wrap presents, design new toys and build wooden toys!  Cameron’s favourite thing about Santa’s Workshop is everything!  Joe’s favourite thing to do in our workshop is wrapping up presents.

Toys Toys Toys

We have been learning about toys.  This week we went to the Bennie Museum.  At the Bennie Museum we saw lots of old toys.  We saw a rocking horse, a pram, old dolls and old train sets.  We learned about a toy called a boggie, which is a bit like a go-kart, except it is made from wood and you have to pull it with a piece of rope.  Jayden really enjoyed looking at the toy trains. 

We sang some songs at the museum and took lots of photographs of the old toys.  Miss Barrie and Miss Cameron are very proud of everyone in class 1.  Everyone listened carefully and took care not to touch the old toys. 

Story Time

We enjoy taking turns to read to our classmates at Story Time.  Joe read ‘The Gruffalo’ this week.  He used fantastic expression when he was reading.  Thank you Joe.

Art and Design

We created beautiful Winter scene paintings.  We looked at the colours of the winter sky and selected colours for our paintings.  We used masking tape to make a tree.  We know that trees lose their leaves in Winter, so we used the masking tape to make the tree trunk and branches.  We painted over the masking tape, and when our pictures were dry, we peeled off the tape.  We will upload a picture of our finished work  next week.

I am Brilliant

Everyone in class 1 has an ‘I am Brilliant’ book.  We think, talk and write about the things that we are brilliant at. Sometimes we draw pictures in our books and sometimes we stick photographs in.
