Olympic Theatre and Assembly

On Wednesday we were lucky enough to watch a Theatre performance all about the history of the Olympics! It was great fun and full of crazy costumes, singing and dancing! We all enjoyed joining in by singing along and saying phrases with the characters!

Thank you to all the parents who came to our Class Assembly about Noah's Ark on Thursday! It was a great success and the children were so proud of their achievement. I was impressed with how beautifully they sat, sung and spoke. Please leave your feedback about the assembly below!

Next week is the last week of term, and please remember to bring in your book challenge sponssorship money.
PLease also be aware that School closes at 2:30pm on Friday 30th March.

Spiders Web

Yesterday St Clares really enjoyed weaving our own Spiders Web!

We have been reading the story of Anansi the Spider, which describes Anansi's six sons and their unique special talents!
We used wool and took it it turns to say our thoughts and comments about the boook, before throwing the wool to another person. We each held onto our corner and eventually we had weaved a giant web!

On Monday we enjoyed writing about our own talents and skills. We wrote these on Spiders and now they are displayed on a web in our classroom

Aborigine Artwork

Today we enjoyed creating Aborigine Artwork! We used outlines of Australian animals and used cotton buds to paint small dots in colourful patterns. This style of art is done by Aborigine people in Australia!

World Book Day

The children loved wearing their pjamas for the day! We enjoyed writing book reviews, designing front covers for our favourite books and making book marks! We also enjoyed milkshake with a story!
I think we could all get used to comfy PJs and slippers in School!!!

Behaviour pledges

This shows our Behaviour Pledge display! Each child signed a pledge to agree to follow the class rules that we all decided on together!

Letters home!

The children really enjoyed writing their addresses and letters to be posted home! Please comment here or in the Learning Journal if you receive your letter! Thank you to parents who bought in a stamp!

Tweezers!

To help build our fine motor control muscles in our arms we have been using large tweezers to seperate pasta from glittery beads! It's fun trying to only get the beads!
