World Book Day

On Thursday, the school celebrated World Book Day. We brought in our favourite bedtime stories and came to school in our pyjamas. In Orange Class, the children have been really enjoying a musical story called 'the raja with big ears.' They like it so much that they asked to do activities related to the story for World Book Day.

The children first of all had a go at using split pins, card and art straws to make a moving puppet. Some children made the Raja, whereas others made the barber or the tree from the story. Here are our puppets.

Afterwards the children had a go at exploring instruments and played along to the story - it was very noisy and very fun!

Here we are enjoying the music! Have a wonderful weekend! :)

Today we made some butter. We made it out of 'milk' (cream). We churned it by hand just like farmers used to have to do!

Ice!

Well, today may well have been the most exciting day EVER. We discovered that our messy trays had frozen over with ice! This discovery led us to a morning of exploring ice and frost outside. It was simply magical.

Look at us playing with the ice and making frost angels on the field - the children had so much fun!

"It's a circle!"

"Look at my finger hedgehog!"
