Christmas Cheer in Our Classroom!

The excitement for Christmas is in full swing in our classroom! We’ve decorated the room with festive decorations, creating a warm and cheerful atmosphere. Our advent calendar is a big hit, and each day, two children get the chance to open a door and enjoy a treat.

We ended the week with plenty of Christmas music, including a fun music lesson that had everyone singing.

Our Time-Traveling Adventure to Murton Park

Our school trip to Murton Park felt like stepping back in time! Dressed in tunics, we lived like Stone/Bronze Age villagers for the day, taking part in exciting activities.

As farmers, we ground wheat into flour and weaved fabric for clothing. Then, as hunter-gatherers, we wielded spears to “hunt” wild boar, wolves, and bears. We also made pottery, designing unique patterns on our beakers, and tried cave painting to tell stories like our ancient ancestors.

To finish the day, we gathered around a fire to hear a captivating Stone Age story. It was an unforgettable experience that brought history to life!

Art

This week, we stepped back in time to explore the creativity of the Stone Age—but with a modern twist! Just like early humans crafted clothes from animal skins, we created our own outfits using newspaper instead.

Celebrating Anti-Bullying Week

We had a fantastic week filled with lots of exciting activities. As part of Anti-Bullying Week, we all became professional rappers and worked hard on a rap song called Stop, which was about standing up to bullying. We also celebrated Odd Socks Day, which was a fun way to embrace and celebrate our differences.

Music Workshop

We had an exciting music workshop this week that truly inspired our creativity. Everyone contributed to crafting a beautiful poem, and the final result was simply amazing. It was a fantastic experience that showcased our teamwork and artistic talents!
