Gingerbread Man

Today we made Gingerbread men. We all helped follow the recipe to mix the ingredients together, then roll out the dough. We all then cut out a Gingerbread man each using a cutter.
After baking, we all decorated our own Gingerbread man using raisins, sweets, chocolate buttons and icing.

Please comments if you enjoyed eating yours!

Welcome Back!

Today we have begun our new RE topic, 'Celebrations'.

We discussed how we celebrate our birthdays and other special events such as Christmas and New Years with parties. We talked about the different things we use to make these special such as giving gifts, blowing up balloons, playing games and eating food.

We had a class party to welcome us back to School. We danced, played party games and ate yummy foods.

Elf Visits!

We were lucky to recieve a visit from a real Elf from the North Pole! He told us that Father Christmas was watching how hard we were working in School! He posed for a photo with us!

Xmas Stockings!

All the children attended or Christmas Mass, which also celebrated Miss Murphys time at our School.

Yesterday we made Christmas Tree decorations. We glued a star on felt stockings and threading ribbon through! We made enough to give to other teachers and presents too!

We then watched the Year 6 Carol Service and enjoyed the fantastic singing! Our favourite song was 'Christmas Bell Carol' which we've all been humming ever since!

Today we enjoyed an assembly celebrating all our Christmas plays and said a final Good bye to Miss Murphy who is leaving.

Please can I say another huge thank you for all of your generous gifts and cards. We really appreciate them!

Have a fantastic Christmas and I look forward to seeing you all again in the New Year!

Christmas Week! 13.12.11

We made wreaths by wrapping green paper round a hoop. We then stuck on green holly leaves and screwed up tissue paper to make red berries.

We are looking forward to taking home our wreaths to hang on our doors!

We also made Christmas decorations. We cut out and stuck on a photo of ourselves, and then decorated the decoration with glitter and festive shoes! Finally we hole punched and threading ribbon through the top so we can hang these on our trees!

CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas to you all!

St Clares would like to wish you a Happy Festive Season in these clips!

Thank you for coming to the Christmas Children's Liturgy this morning! I think you'll all agree it was a great success! All the children did really well and loved performing it to you!

This afternoon we made Mince meat parcels. Each child had a turn rolling out the pastry and spreading over the mince meat before we cooked them. The children were excited to take them home to show you!

We also decorated the Christmas cake we made last week, and all enjoyed tasting the marzipan! We all added some silver decorations to the top, and look forward to seeing it finished next week!
