This week in class the children have been exploring more ‘old’ toys and items in Humanities! They used and old camera not connected to a phone!, a camcorder (remember those?!) and a gameboy, as well as a variety of old phones (with buttons!). The children loved this! They also learned how to play Hopscotch and worked on their numeracy skills while enjoying the old game. In Maths this week they have been playing Trasketball!! The children have been practicing their throwing skills to get the trash ball into the numbered cup.

Of course it has got a little bit messy with sensory fun time and painting some mermaid pictures with cotton buds and they have also painted some beautiful mermaid hearts for the Care Home Ferguson Lodge to cheer the people up there who may not be able to see their families at Christmas.

The children have also been lucky to take part in some special events this week-they attended a fabulous Diwali workshop in the Dance Studio and went their view their mermaid road sign creation in the outdoor gallery ‘Caterpillar Street’ based on the work of the artist Clet Abrahams. We loved everyone’s creations!

Lastly we HAVEN’T started Christmas and we HAVEN’T started making their Christmas cakes or decorating their tree in the class ready for next week……………………….well…..maybe just a little…………….
