We have been freeze framing some action shots from Captain Scott and his team's expedition. Can you tell what the boys are doing?

What a busy, exciting first week back!
We have settled really well back into our routine and the children have been fantastic. We have done lots of number recognition and counting with a particular focus on the number 3.
We thought about New Year and resolutions with the children thinking of…

We had a great first lesson in our first design and technology lesson. We learnt about how to join two pieces of fabric together and trying out different ways to see which is best. This will help us when making our puppets in a few weeks. 

We have been in role as Antarctic explorers today! We have built shelters to keep us safe from an Antarctic blizzard, and even thought about ways to keep ourselves entertained whilst inside our shelters - ranging from painting, drums and even booby traps!

Oak Class had a fab time using different skills to shape and form patterns with play dough! We can't wait to use these skills to make our animals out of clay. 

It was a week of firsts in our final week before Christmas! 
We attended our first school panto, our first celebration assembly (some of us even performed a dance in front of the whole school) and watched our first Rock Steady concert! 
We have been super busy making lots of Christmas crafts,…

Maple Class have spent time designing and making their very own shadow puppets! They were challenged to include different materials in their puppet - some that were opaque, some that were translucent and some that were transparent. We then tested them out to see how the different materials…

We have worked really hard this morning, taking our origami skills and knowledge to the next level to create our very own kirigami Christmas Trees! 

This week, the children were AMAZING and performed their Nativity. All children were fantastic and we were so proud of them! We were even lucky to watch the KS1 dress rehearsal of their nativity, and sat and listened perfectly!
We enjoyed a lovely forest session, built sleighs and dinosaurs out…

Ash class worked in small groups to create the tallest tower using 3D shapes that we have been learning about. We discussed why a sphere and a cone would be no use at the bottom of the tower! We measured the towers to crown the winning group with the tallest tower.

We had towers as tall as 5ft…

Ash and Oak performed their Nativity to all of their family and the rest of school. We have some amazing performers!

Today we had great fun at Lancaster On Ice! The children showed bravery, resilience and kindness. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
