Week Beginning 09.01.2017

Happy New Year to you all and welcome back to Spring Term!
The children once again threw themselves into their learning and activities with much gusto. It was really great to see everyone after a much-deserved Christmas holiday break.

Our topic this term is 'A is for...' and we will learn about the Arctic, Antarctic and Arendelle the land of Frozen...
 We have started the new year learning about seasons, focussing on winter. We have an icy cave in the role play area and children have been busy writing on the icy wall and building a giant sledge.
Any more room on the sledge..?

Someone opted for a smaller version of the sledge...




And here we are cooking away a warm broccoli and cheese soup to help us keep warm .




 
 
 
As always the best part of the cooking session was the tasting...what a rich cheese and broccoli soup!




On Thursday morning, while looking at the globe, Logan decided he was travelling on a treasure hunt adventure.  He quickly made his map and we all wrapped up warm to face the bitter wind and go and see what we could find.
 
 
The children had a great time using the map to hunt for treasure and some enjoyed writing about it when we got back in the warm.
 
 
The best piece of treasure we found was part of a picture which, using our detective skills we worked out was a polar bear, I wonder if we will be learning about them in the near future?
 
Finally, after a week of waiting the snow fell and we wasted no time in getting outside to investigate...

 ''Careful it is very slippery''
''Look, you can write in the snow''
 
Congratulations to Evan, our Golden Book winner for this week.  He has shown great enthusiasm sharing ideas about our new topic this week.
