Guess what? We won 'On Time Turtle' last week - this means that our class were all on time for the whole week. Well done everyone - keep up the good work.
This week we have been thinking about winter so the freezing weather has come at just the right time. We have thought about what clothes we need to wear in the cold weather and have found out all about inuits who live in the arctic. Do you know the inuits can build an igloo in just 30 minutes. We have also found out all about how they move about on the snow and ice and what special clothes they wear to keep warm.
In class we have been investigating ice too. We left our water tray out overnight and in the morning all of our fish had frozen solid into the ice (don't worry they were not real fish). Dylan thought the ice looked like icebergs and felt we just needed a few seals to make it perfect. Mrs Young filled some balloons with water and put them in the freezer - we had fun the next day watching what happened as they melted.
And today it snowed so we made the most of it and had a play out in the snow. It was very cold and slushy - not much good for snowmen.
We have finished learning all the sounds in Phase 2 phonics now so we will soon be bringing home the Phase 3 booklet so that you can start practising at home. We have also been working hard on sharing and co-operating with each other. Sienna and Charlie worked together on these jigsaws. What good team work !
We have continued to work hard on our Christmas play and we think you will love it. Thank you to everyone for bringing in the costumes so quickly. Look for the posters in school or on our website to find out more details about times and days.
Hope you can hop along next week - we should have lots of good photos from the Christmas play.
