Classroom Activities Our letter of the week was 'Uu' and we learnt about going underneath umbrellas to eat our upside-down cake! We made umbrellas and also baked a yummy pineapple Paleo upside-down cake. It was delicious! We have also been painting and drawing our self-portraits and we made a graph of all the different types of transport we went on our holiday journeys. Nana's birthday Nana turned 4 last week and she celebrated with us, sharing some photos of her life so far, and her Mum brought in a yummy chocolate mousse cake for us to share. Happy Birthday Nana! Chinese New Year What a lovely day it was, the children all looked beautiful in their Chinese costumes and they all enjoyed making lanterns and dragons! Thank you to Sinnion (Karate's Mom), Christina and Maria (Renee's Mom and Aunty) who taught us how to make the crafts. We also heard the story of the Chinese zodiac and 'Brown Bear, Brown Bear' in Mandarin. Journeys take us near and far We met up with our buddies this week and they helped us make a graph of the transport we used on our journeys. We have been sharing our journey posters with the class and we have swapped our train for a bus from Kru Caryl's class which we are enjoying playing in in the role play area. Classroom activities Our letter of the week was 'Oo' and we remembered all the living things that start with O, such as ostrich, otter, oranges and orchid (our class name). We learnt how to use a sharp knife safely and carefully to cut oranges in half and then squeeze them to make orange juice! We have been drawing our self portraits which provide a snapshot of our fine motor skills and self-perception. ECC Assembly The ECC had their first assembly this year, attended by students and teachers. Our class shared our morning song and acted out the '5 Little Ducks' song. The children did so well and were risk-takers even though they felt a little bit nervous! Shapes
We have been exploring different shapes this week; making pictures of transport and castles out of shapes, and as we walked to swimming, we had a look around us to see what shapes we could find in our environment. Activities in and outside the classroom We have enjoyed being back with our friends, old and new. We were amazed to see how much our plants have grown over the holidays. We have been learning about shapes and made shape pictures, and also made some bliss balls to eat. Journeys with Flat Stanley Here are a few of the journeys Flat Stanley went on over the holidays! Happy Birthday Cooper! It was Cooper's 5th birthday last Thursday and we all enjoyed the delicious racing car cupcakes. We loved seeing the photos of all the exciting things Cooper has done in his life! Happy Birthday Leo!
We celebrated Leo's 4th birthday in the last week of term. His mum made us some lovely cupcakes and we all enjoyed seeing how much he has grown since he was a baby! |
