10 NURSERy: getting Creative RECEPTION: What To Wear In Nursery this term the children have been very busy experimenting with the different ways of painting, from bubble painting to string painting. They have also been exploring messy play which has included cornflour, gelli baff and crazy soap. We have been listening to the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears and have been dressing up as the three bears to tell the story. We have also been filling and emptying porridge oats into bowls and comparing their sizes, small, medium and large. Tracy Sheridan – Nursery Manager NURSERy & RECEPTION Ladybird and Butterfly classes have been particularly busy this term learning all about clothes. We put on our very special clothes and held a fashion show. We made some fantastic poses! Back in class we made our own hats and created sock puppets for our puppet show.

yEAR 1 Celebrations Year 1 started this term with a bang, literally! Our topic is Celebrations so we started by celebrating bonfire night and the children got the opportunity to use sparklers. As part of our topic we are looking at celebrations worldwide to give us experience of other cultures. So far we have celebrated Diwali where we made a yummy chutney and created diva lamps, travelled across the world to America and celebrated Thanksgiving by making a delicious pumpkin pie and stayed in the UK where we celebrated Remembrance Day and Children In Need! To finish our topic we are going to plan and experience a wedding! We will be making party food, creating invitations, choosing a bride and groom and of course having a party – we can’t wait! Melissa Warman – Year 1 Teacher yEAR 2 The Magic Of Storytelling Our topic this term has been The Stories People Tell. We have had many guest visitors in to read us their favourite story and to tell us why they love it so much. In literacy we have been learning about legends. We have read the legends of the red and white dragons and George and the dragon. We were so inspired we have even written our own dragon legends! We have also enjoyed the legend of the dream catcher and have been busy making our own to keep our bad dreams at bay! Claire yarland – Year 2 Teacher yEAR 3 A Topic To get your Teeth Into Year 3 have been studying chocolate and its origins as part of this term’s topic. They have looked at the different countries chocolate comes from, its Aztec origins and how chocolate is produced. They have created their own chocolate bars by adding lots of different ingredients and they have rated different chocolate bars. The children have also been reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and have written about the characters – they even pretended to be Charlie and talked about how they would feel if they won the Golden Ticket. Matthew Jones (pictured far right) even made his own chocolate bar at home!
