We really enjoyed listening to Lewis’ weekend news on Monday morning.  Lewis explained that he was looking up at the stars with his mummy.   Lewis and his mummy were using a telesccope to look at the stars!  Lewis counted seven stars.

We love to visit the Sensory Room.  This week we had an outer space themed Sensory Room!  The room was filled with beautiful lights, colours and images of the night sky.  ‘What beautiful colours!’ said Jayden.   We watched the stars circle the room and we were so excited when the moon appeared!  ‘It’s an angry moon!’ said Liam.

We have been learning about people who help us.  Cody and Liam wrote to PC Arnott to ask if he would visit class 1, to tell us more about the role of a Police Officer.  We were so excited when he came to visit!

Cody’s favourite part of the visit was when PC Arnott showed us his handcuffs.  Liam noticed that PC Arnott is a very tall man and Lewis had fun talking on PC Arnott’s walkie talkie!  Lewis said ‘over and out’ when he was finished talking.

We have been learning about the different types of transport that Police Officers use.  Here we are making our very own Police station and Police car in class 1. 

This week we had a visit from Miss Cameron and baby Cameron.  We were so excited!  We used gentle hands and quiet voices when  baby Cameron was in class 1.  We loved looking at baby Cameron’s tiny features.  Miss Cameron showed us how to feed the baby and we even got to hold him!  Liam counted baby Cameron’s toes.  ‘Ten tiny toes!’ said Liam.   Cody wrote about the special visit from Miss Cameron.  Cody felt great when he was holding the tiny baby.

This week we have been learning about writing and posting letters.   On Monday we went to the post box to post our thank you letters to Santa!  We spotted some familiar words on the post box.  We learned that the days of the week are written on the post box to let people know when the postman will collect the letters.

We are really enjoying our class post office.   We have been very busy writing letters to our friends and teachers.   Writing letters is one of our favourite choose time activities this week! 

We also had a birthday party this week.  We prepared a yummy healthy snack and wore colourful party hats!  We sang Happy Birthday, played party games and danced to our favourite songs.  The boys in class 1 have some super dance moves!  The birthday boy’s mum even gave everyone a party bag full of treats to take home!

During Circle Time we have been learning out feelings.  This week we discussed feeling happy.  We listened to a story and then took turns to tell our friends about the things that make us happy. 

Cameron  “Playing at school, playing in the playground and playing at home makes me happy”.

Jayden “Playing with Mickey makes me happy”.

We created some happy faces using playdough!
