Week Beginning 2nd December 2019

All things Winter.
We read this beautiful story and talked about winter colours. We noticed that the illustrator of this book chose mainly white and blue colours. We decided to have a go at painting on blue paper with white paint only and this is the result:

                                                         
                                                                 Very pretty.


In maths we looked at 2D and 3D shapes and went on a shape hunt around the school.
Can you spot the shapes?

'This is a rectangle'

More rectangles.

                                              'I'm standing in a circle'.

                                                          'That's a circle too'.

'A cone and if you turn it upside down you could put ice cream in it'.

                                           'A pom pom is like a sphere'

                                                           'Square'

'And a cylinder'.

Our shape work continued throughout the week and concluded with a great feely bag activity, working with a partner, one of us had to pick and hide a shape and a friend had to work out what it was by listening to a description about its properties or asking for clues.

Elsewhere and the children have been busy with Christmas activities...

A little preparation for a gift to bring home later in the term.

And of course, the Christmas Play; we tried our costumes on today, well done everyone, they look fantastic!

Thanks to everyone who has made or purchased these for the children.

Well done to my little team of helpers that have been helping to get the scenery ready too.

Have a lovely weekend everyone and we look forward to seeing at the performances next Wednesday at 1 o'clock and 5 o'clock.
