Half way through the year!

Happy Valentine's Day Everybody!  We hope you have had a fun day!  (Bibi and Leila)


I made a lovely card for my Mum with a beautiful picture.  I tried my best to make it so she would love it.  (Lennon)
I made a card for my girlfriend.  (Harry)
Today has been brilliant, it's the best day ever!  (Lennon and Harry)
At playtime I made a little sheet of the United Kingdom.  It said on the back:  'To Mummy, Happy Valentine's day.  I love you.  From Lucas.' (Lucas)


We started to learn about Alice in Wonderland.  Alice fell down the rabbit hole.  The rabbit keeps falling back.  The Mad Hatter and the Marsh Hare weren't very nice to Alice.   (William Clarke)
This story is about me! (Alice)

We have been finishing off our Andy Warhol pictures and making Goldilocks and the Three Bears puppets. They are amazing!  We played our lovely games.  (Monty)
We have been doing some really hard subtracting and we were really good at it. (Oscar and Rahin)

When it was swimming, Oliver and Lennon and I jumped in the deep end and swam.  All of 1 AP also jumped in the deep end.  At first I was afraid of jumping in the deep end, but now I'm used to it and I love it! (Lucas)
Leila and I jumped in the deep end throwing pink and all sorts of coloured hoops.  We dived down and got them, it was fun! (Amelie)

Today we baked some delicious heart cookies.  We sprinkled some icing sugar on to the icing. 
In phonics, we put tricky words all over the school.  I put mine on the stairs.  (Erin)  We put out on the toilet roll holders (Finlay, Harry).

We had our invitation cross country.  Norwich School and loads of others came to compete and it was fun.  I won the gold medal.   (Finlay) 
It was fun to run and our girls team got a certificate for coming first place in our race.  (Lily and Emily)
We are very proud of Emily, Lily, Lennon and Finlay. (Bibi) 
We had fun playing kitties outside on the playground in the boat.  (Summer)


What a wonderful way to end this half term! It is difficult to believe that we are exactly half way through the year.  The children are growing up so quickly and it is extremely rewarding to see their maturity, in every area. 


Coming up after half term...

Our new topic is Brilliant Buildings, although we start off with two weeks of Alice in Wonderland as our World Book Day link.  

Thursday, 27 February  -  Dress up day and Alice in Wonderland National Storytellers Theatre visit.  Please come to school dressed as a character from Alice in Wonderland.

We will be learning about artists who use mixed media, and Louise Richardson's fairytale style.   We will be producing our very own journals and creating mixed media artwork for the cover.  

Also, if anyone happens to have any old books (the older the better, but any type would work) that we could use for art work...pretty please could we have them.  :)

We look forward to seeing you all soon, have a wonderful half term! :)
