The children in Antonia’s Class have had such a fun and creative week leading up to World Book Day on Thursday! They continued with their ‘Inventors and Inventions’ topic and found out about and created fireworks in a jar. This was so fun to do! The children used oil and food colouring to create a beautiful explosion of colour in their jars of water. They thoroughly enjoyed using the pipettes.

This week we have focused on the story ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’ and made some delicious chocolate cupcakes! The tiger in the story eats all the food in the cupboard including the cakes. The children then worked on sequencing the recipe the next day and trying to remember what they had done. They did a really good job at this and even tried to read the recipe to the adults afterwards.

On Thursday for World Book Day the children were lucky enough to take part in a Dance Rocks session with Jo. It was sooooooooooo good! They learned lots of new dances based on books and were so tired afterwards. Of course everyone dressed up in pyjamas or as one of their favourite characters. We get involved with lots of enthusiasm in our class.

Another special treat occurred when the children made some special Willy Wonka hot chocolate after the cold playtime outside this week. They used their whisking skills and enjoyed a lovely hot chocolate with marshmallows. They really have been spoiled this week!

In school on Thursday we took part in a special World Book Day Assembly with special readings of stories and our own version of the Masked Storyteller. It was so funny! We sang songs and loved looking at everyone’s costumes on the Catwalk.

This afternoon we celebrated Kian’s birthday which is on Sunday. Happy 8th Birthday Kian!
