This week we have been thinking about birthdays and parties. We have talked about parties we have been to and we have written about parties - watch out for our birthday display going up outside our classroom as it will have lots of fantastic writing on it and I'm sure you will be very impressed.
We have also been designing our own party clothes and lots of us took a long time deciding how to make our outfits - the end result is definitely worth waiting for ! We have been reading a Big Book all about growing up too and have been thinking about what we can remember about when we were smaller. Mrs Young, Mrs Ball, Mrs Harvey and Miss Carter all brought in their baby photos and they were really funny ! Mrs Young's were so old they were in black and white.

In maths we have been doing lots of problem solving with a party theme - so we have been pretending to make play dough cakes and work out how we can share them out, we've been counting pretend cherries for the top and sharing out pretend sweets. It's been great fun and it's a good way to practise your adding and taking away.

This Friday it was Alfie, our Class dog's birthday. He was 5 and we gave him a surprise party. We have been busy all week making cards and decorations and we have made some yummy chocolate crispy cakes to eat aswell.

Alfie loved the party - we gave him a car as a present and we made a lovely card for him too that Jazlyn got everyone to sign. He was a bit upset that he didn't have a hat but Dylan said he could borrow his. Later on in the afternoon Bailey made Alfie his own rabbit hat so that he didn't feel left out. We ate our crispy cakes and played Alfie's favourite party game - musical statues. I think we all had a lovely time - especially Alfie.
