The children selected a background, changed the 'texture' and colour (including the thickness of the brush) to create Jack's house and the beanstalk. The children then added 'character' stamps and explored changing the size and rotation of the stamps.
First we developed our threading skills with different sized beads. Then we developed our paper weaving skills in preparation for creating our 'sewing' holiday cards...
The children can thread their own needles!
We have been developing our sculpting skills by rolling balls, coils and shapes. We then used a variety of objects to 'imprint' patterns onto the clay. Look out for our clay 'pumpkins' coming soon...
The children used non-fiction texts and the internet to research animals that lay eggs...
We looked at Google Earth and Google Maps to find out the directions from our school to Witton Lakes. We had 'Widget' cards for key vocabulary and 'things to look for' - school, library, shop, pavement, road, bus stop, house, flat fire station, tree and lake
The children love reading their Ditties and books with you...
The children found gigantic footprints, a hen which lays golden eggs and some brightly coloured beans...

Thank you so much to all the parents and carers who attended our Phonics Workshop today. The children loved you watching them learn and making a phonics game with them...
Twiggle showed us how to do 'Turtle' to help us when we feel upset, sad, annoyed or angry. First we have to 'Stop'. Then we hug ourselves (go into our shell). Next, we take long deep breathes to calm us. Finally, we will say what the problem is and how it makes us feel...
We have been following the recipe to make our own 'Gingerbread People'. We can use Fred Talk to read 'mix', 'put', 'and', 'egg', 'dish' and 'add'....
'Miller' the musician came to teach us how to play African drums...
