As well as sitting and reading books we sometimes use props to tell stories.  This week the children took turns to tell the story of Little Red Riding Hood.

All that bad weather left our garden deep in snow.  Everyone worked very hard to clear the road and allow the bikes to be used.  We also found time to build a snowman.

The whole school took part in Career Day today.  It was great to see so many children dressed up and sharing with everyone what they want to be when they grow up.

We all enjoyed making bird cakes this week, lots of measuring and mixing before rolling into balls.  We left some out in our garden then used binoculars to watch the birds as they landed to feed.

We’ve been talking about the weather and wind in particular.  We used bags to make kites and had great fun flying them in the big playground.

We purchased some kitchen tongs to allow children to choose their snack more hygienically, they all loved using them.

Every week the children get an opportunity to choose what they would like for snack.  This time it was an unusual combination of pasta with cheese and broccoli followed by watermelon.  It was a huge hit and we had lots of empty plates.

We had a visit to the school library this week, everyone loved having a look at all the books and choosing what they wanted to read.

We had a break in the weather allowing us to do some bird spotting.  Children were given a sheet showing the most common birds in our area and were to count how many they could see.  Great for observation and numeracy.
