Week 7 in our lovely classroom!

This week was our first week at school with Room 2 fully functioning so we began our week with a different class, ready for all the new children who will be joining us this term and next. We had visits from Ben, Corey, Stella and Cody and welcomed Mia and Keira who turned five this week.

Mrs Lawrence taught in our classroom on Thursday and Friday as Mrs Savill was sick ! 

Marvellous meals - M was out letter of the week in week 6 and we finished off our Marvellous Meals posters this week They are now proudly displayed in our classroom, do pop in and appreciate them when you next  come to school!

 Sticker bookmarks -
When the children in Room One have completed their bookmark stickers this is a big achievement (it takes 25 stickers to fill) and here you can see Carey who is delighted to be able to take his home this week.

Evelyn is learning to use lower case letters in her name and just a capital to begin it.

GYNASTICS

Gymnastics skills began this week now we have finished our getting fit for cross country. We are learning a number of new skills on a Wednesday and Thursday morning. We were shown how to do these by some of the older girls from Room 11 who are in the Birchwood Gymnastics squad - they stayed on to help us in our lesson on Wednesday.

FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL

Keira was five on Friday - welcome Keira!

 SCHOOL VISIT

Ben had his first school visit on Tuesday and loved every minute!

FREE TIME
We had some free time this week and I grouped the children, giving them the task of taking their friends to a part of the classroom and talking about the displays they could see there. Hadlee explained to Ben and Carey that the words on our word wall are to help you with your writing and you can take them off and put them back - well explained Hadlee.

Vinny showed Corey our bubble printing from Mondays art lesson.

Evelyn and Ella enjoyed looking at our SAme, same, but different display with photos from Thailand and Dubai.

Evelyn has completed her first bookmark too!

More gym photos - learning to jump and land properly.

Yikes! Chali has been finishing her 'All about me' book and was away when we made our hand prints.

Hadlee has completed his chart too - looks like the week for it!

BUBBLE PRINTING
We are learning about different ways to print in art this term and have made finger prints, hand prints, potato prints and mirror prints. Today we mixed bubble mixture and paint then blew down a straw to make bubbles, placed our papers on top and when the bubbles burst they left their prints behind We combined colours and ended up with beautiful works of art - again on display in class in our purple corner, we hope you like them!

BIBLE IN SCHOOLS
We run an optional Bible in schools lesson here at school and our teacher this year is Lesley - this is a photo of her when she came and took my class on Tuesday morning.

The children made people chains in Bible in schools to show their families.

Welcome to Mia who started school this week too, she had her first day on Wednesday. It is great to have such happy children in my class.
