Birds' Nest

In drama we have been to visit Jill who went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Unfortunately a bird had stolen her special bucket and taken it up high in the tree. Jill was afraid of climbing the tree after falling down the hill. So we offered to climb the tree. When we got there a bird was sitting in Jill's bucket. When we asked for it back he got very upset as he had an egg in the nest. We offered to make him his own nest. We went for a walk up Nature's Way and collected things to make a nest. We made them in ice cream containers. On Monday we will take our nests back up the tree and let him choose one.

Discovery Time

In DIscovery time this week we talked about perseverance. We read the story of "The Little Red Hen." She showed perseverance when she made the bread.
We tried to persevere when we tried activities in Discovery time. We decided that perseverence means you keep on trying and don't give up.

Clowns

In art over the last few weeks we have drawn clowns. First we painted the background using sponges and white paint. We then looked at different pictures of clowns and talked about their bright colours. We practised sketching clowns. When we were confident we drew our clown onto our background using sketching pencils. We went over the pencil with black vivid and then used pastels to make our clowns bright and beautiful.

Our Teddies

On Friday we brought our soft toys to school for maths. We introduced our toy to the class and then we compared them to see who had the smallest/tallest and shortest/longest. We then used the interlocking blocks to see how many blocks tall or long our toy was. We loved having our toys at school. They were very well behaved and even came to Junior School assembly with us.
