This morning we discussed how Olympians work so hard to become Gold medalists. We thought about the skils they acquire and how they train to improve them. We thought about what we were good at, and the things that we would like to improve on to make ourselves better at something. On gold medals, we wrote a target, something the children felt they wanted to be better at. These will be displayed on our 'Going for Gold' Display board.

Today we enjoyed a class Holiday. We danced, played games, and ate yummy food. This reminded us of how happy celebrations with friends and family make us. This is part of our RE topic this term
We continued our Olympic topic by designing new Olympic logos on the computers! The children displayed improved mouse skills and I was impressed with their creativity!

Welcome back to School!

I hope you all had a great Easter!

The children are really enjoying our new Olympics topic. We have a ticket and souvenir role play area which they are really enjoying playing in!
We all suggested something we wanted to learn about within the topic of the Olympics, and have put this on our wall. This means we can assess our own learning and ensure we are taking control of our own development!
This week we have also started looking at Number Bonds to 10!

Reminder: PE kits need to be in School everyday!
Please also send in a drinks bottle, as the weather it gets warmer, we will be taking these outside more so it is vital we all have a bottle!

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

Display

We did Observational drawings of Fruit from the story Handa's Suprise. This is the display of our work! We used pastels to mix the colours.

Parents Evening and Aborigine Art

First Parents evening was really successful, and it was lovely to hear how happy you are! I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of you on Wednesday.

In the Hall we currently have an art Display. Our Class has recreated Aborigine art. Our display board is pictured below.
