Today we were back in forest school after waiting so long to have the tree sorted out.  It was a bit of a wet start, but we had a fantastic time exploring and playing.  We wrote thank you notes and made a wreath to take to church on Monday for our Remembrance service.

We have had a lovely time learning how to keep clean and healthy with the help of Wiffy Wilson the little wolf who wouldn’t wash!

Thank you very much for your donations of soap and toothbrushes for our display.

This week we are reading a book called Wiffy Wilson, all about a little wolf who doesn’t know why he needs to keep clean.  In our classroom we have some fun activities to help us learn about keeping clean.

Gloop to practise writing letters in.

Rolling the dice and making the right number of teeth for the mouth.

Cutting along the lines to help with scissor control.

Washing the babies and their clothes.

Our keeping healthy and clean display.

As part of our RE lessons we have been learning about Hinduism.  This week we are having an ‘Indian’ week.  We have spice painting, seeds in the play-dough, story telling, dressing up and later in the week we will try some Indian food.

Thank you for all your lovely holiday pictures the display is looking great.  Keep them coming.

We have settled in so well for our first week.  The children have been super stars and very confident.  We have done so well we were the winners of Scruffy the ‘BARK’ dog!

B = Behaviour

A = Attitude

R = Respect

K = Kindness

Keep your BARK bones safe.  When you have collected 5 give them to Mrs Goddard and she will make sure you get a certificate in Celebration Assembly.

We are beginning to build different areas within the classroom with the children’s help, learning how to use the areas safely and sensibly as we go.  We would like some help to fill the map display with lots of lovely pictures of journeys the children have been on. If you send in a photo we will put it up on the display.
