Today we have enjoyed celebrating a belated pancake day! We read the story of Mr Wolf’s pancakes, and discussed what ingredients we would need to make our own. We spoke about the dangers of cooking on a hot hob, and how we can keep ourselves safe. We then all had a go at trying to use our knifes and forks properly, to cut and eat our delicious pancakes.

We have had lots of fun exploring the snow outside this afternoon. The children enjoyed creating snow balls and trying to catch the snow in their mouths.
Thank you to everyone who’s provided wellies and waterproofs for school, we had some great discussion with the children about dressing appropriately for the cold weather.

Today for faith day we have been learning about Eid. We have used our fine motor skills to have a go at creating Eid cards and tried some delicious Islamic food such as Samosa’s, kebabs, spring rolls and biriyani. We read the story Rameena’s Ramadan and looked at the Eid my first festivals video, we also listened to some Islamic music.

To celebrate Chinese New Year we have tasted some delicious Chinese food today. We read the story “I love Chinese New Year” and listened to some Chinese music. We spoke about cultural differences and had a go at eating our food with chopsticks, just like they do in China. We have also looked at what animal it was the year we was born, after learning that this year is the year of the dragon, and explored some different Chinese items in our tough tray.

Big shoutout to Koby who has got our yellow T-shirt this week. Koby has produced some beautiful work around our current text, Goldilocks and The Three Bears, and has done a fantastic job at retelling the story. Koby has also been working extra hard during his speech therapy, remembering to speak slower to pronounce words more clear. Keep working hard Koby!

Today we created a story map of Goldilocks and The Three Bears. The children were able to retell the story as we went along and decide what picture we should draw.
Charlotte and Edith then created their own fantastic story map by cutting out pictures and sticking the, on, and then fantastically re told the story using it. They also did some beautiful handwriting to write their names on it, well done girlies you are amazing!
