Winter Time!

We have been talking about and looking for signs that winter is here. We discussed how cold it is and described a range of winter photographs using WOW words including crunchy, white, cold, freezing, squishy, frosty and icy (fantastic words, well done everyone!) We used these words in our writing and created a class poem which will be displayed outside our class along with our fabulous paintings of us wearing our winter clothes and having lots of fun playing in the snow. 
We also looked and played with small world animals from cold places and used ice cubes in our play! We drank squash (with ice) and hot chocolate and talked about when it is best to have an icy drink and a hot drink.
Everyone carefully cut out snowflakes too!
We also made little bird feeders as we talked about how birds need a little help and care from us during the winter time.

Christmas Fun!

We had fantastic Christmas fun at the end of this term. We made cracking cracker Christmas cards, a shiny picture frame calendar and decorated Christmas biscuits. Our Christmas concert was a great success with everybody looking great and sounding fantastic on the stage. To complete the celebrations we watched the amazing Jono and his magic tricks and had a super Christmas party with delicious food and pass the parcel! 
Many thanks for all your kind gifts and we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
