We have created a beautiful Spiritual area in our classroom.
We go there during the day to spend time reflecting, thinking and being calm and peaceful. We always enjoy this area and have a doodle book to write and draw our thoughts.

We had a fantastic time during our recent Victorian Day. We have been learning all about Victorian toys, so loved being able to play with some of them. We changed our classroom so that we were in rows, the boys one side and the girls the other. We wrote on chalk boards and even had a 'Dunce' hat ready in the corner! We had to call Mrs Stone 'Miss' and had to stand up when ever we spoke or if an adult entered the classroom. It was great fun, but we prefer our class how it is now!
In the afternoon we walked up to the Shaftesbury Gold Hill Museum. It was incredible seeing all of the wonderful artifacts and even getting to play with some more Victorian Toys!
Look at our beautiful Christmas Cards! :-)
Yr1 and Yr2 Christmas Nativity Play 'Prickly Hay'
SPRING TERM
Frozen Planet
In our new topic, we have been exploring creatures which live in Artic conditions. This week we focussed on Penguins. We have explored the work of Author and Illustrator Rob Biddulph and followed his instructions to draw penguins.
We have created models of penguins using air drying clay.
When they were dry we painted them and then varnished them.
We love our penguins!
Numbers Day!
We had a fantastic day in Yr1. We began by measuring and making different penguins to the correct size. We were amazed how tall Emperor Penguins are!
In the afternoon, we explored making different numbers. First using playdough and then cookie dough. We were able to take our baked cookie numbers home!
We had a wonderful time exploring the water colour paints. We created and painted our own aliens and drew and painted beautiful flowers to go onto our Mother's Day Cards. We hope you liked them :-)
We were very lucky to have two education staff from Vodafone visit us this week. They worked with all the classes throughout the day, using iPads. Yr1 had a go at creating posters using PicCollage Edu, it was great fun!
