Having talked about the special star that guided the way to the Stable in Bethlehem, we have been thinking about the stars that we see up in the sky at night.
This Wellie Wednesday we
talked about Guy Fawkes and why we celebrate the 5th of November. We
had a go at building our own bonfire. We collected some very big sticks, small
sticks and lots of soggy leaves and then pretended to light our fire. We added
coloured tissue paper to resemble the flames before warming our hands by the
fire!
Some of us made some warming
winter soup to keep us warm in the cold outdoors!
Some of the children have been telling us about their Halloween adventures, so we thought this would be a good choice of story for our next Julia Donaldson book . . .
Click here to find out which were some of the children's favourite characters in this lovely rhyming story!
As we have been talking about rabbits a lot recently, we thought this next book from Julia Donaldson would be a good one to share with the children . . .
It was lots of fun lifting the flaps to find out who was keeping rabbit awake! Click here to visit our 'Share A Story, Share A Smile!' and find out what some of the children thought!
Having had lots of fun hunting for shapes in our school grounds, we thought the children might like to design some 'shape scarecrows' for Mr McGreely to have in his vegetable garden!
Can you name the shape that has been used for the hat?
Which shape has got two long sides and two short sides?
Which part of the scarecrow have the hexagons been used for?
You could have a go at designing your own 'shape scarecrow' - which shapes would you use?
During our register sessions, we have been talking about the names of the shapes used for our 'day of the week' cards that we have, and a few of the children named some of the shapes that they used when constructing the vegetable containers for the Muncha Bunnies.
We decided to be special detectives and go on the hunt for different shapes within our school grounds - here are just a few of the ones that we found . . .
Can you name the shape in the middle of the photograph?
Do you recognise this shape?
Can you see any corners?
How many sides has this shape got?
Can you count the corners?
What shape is our clock?
Can you spot another shape on our triangular bunting?
Can you name this shape?
How would you describe the shape of our tyres?
Perhaps you could be a shape detective too!
How many different shapes can you find in and around your home?
