Continuing with our theme of 'celebrations', this week, we have been reading the story 'Kipper’s Birthday'. The children have LOVED this one so far.

We have been learning the vocabulary; decoration, invitation, card, cake, balloon and present.

The children have created their own invitations, decorations/bunting, birthday card and cupcakes.

We have also enjoyed our first community visit to the park which was lovely (and very very cold).

We will be continuing our story next week and throwing Kipper a real party, with a delicious cake and party games!

This week has been really fun. The children have continued enjoying Kipper's birthday.

We have been to the shops to buy ingredients and then baked Kipper a birthday cake and thrown him a party, with dancing, party games, singing and cake. It was lots of fun.

This week was also 'Art Week' and we have enjoyed exploring lots of art techniques and creating animal masks. This will be displayed at church next week.

This week, we started a new story, ‘Dear Santa’. We explored lots of different toys including a car, paints, trumpet and a kite.

We used it as inspiration to think about toys we might want to ask Santa for and then created our own letter to Santa using pictures and mark making.

We posted our letters on Thursday; we walked to the postbox, posted our letters and then bought hot chocolate and Christmas biscuits in the shop to enjoy when we got back to class.

We have also visited the churches art gallery this week to see the artwork we created last week.

We have had a lovely Christmas week this week. We went on a community walk to the local cafe for breakfast, met Santa, enjoyed our Christmas lunch and Christmas party in the hall and playing with the snow machine. It’s been a magical week.
