I hope you all had a lovely half term. Where did the last 2 weeks disappear to? We have been even busier than usual. We celebrated Chinese new year with a special assembly last week. We enjoyed watching and joining in with a dragon dance and tasted lots of lovely food. The smell or stir fried vegetables filled the school hall.
Back in class, 1B enjoyed some Chinese style messy play. We explored the delicious crunch of rice, noodles and Chinese crackers. Children were exploring with their hands as they watched the results of their own actions. Everyone showed fantastic levels of engagement. Learning through exploration was our focus. Everyone participated in their own wonderful way.

 

We have been learning to turn take with our friends in class this half term too. Lots of children are showing interest in sharing an activity with a friend. We observed some fantastic tracking when passing a ball. Children chose a friend to pass the ball to and passed the ball around our circle.

Our children love a sensory story. We shared a story about the beach. Children loved pressing switches to hear the beach songs. Everyone began to anticipate the cheeky seagull flying down to pinch the children’s ice cream!

Lovely to see our James back to school after his op! What a brave boy! He took Melvin the class monkey to share the experience. It was lovely to see Melvin getting his own ID wrist band just like James. He dressed in his scrubs for the op too!

Have a lovely weekend friends,
