We have been busy making our vehicles...

This week we began making vehicles the children designed themselves using the junk modelling we collected.

When they are finished we will post photos of them next week.

The children have been busy talking about the shapes of the boxes and containers they have used and they are all getting very good at naming and describing 3D shapes!

Starsnappers project!!

The children had a fantastic time this morning learning how to use digital photography equipment and having their portrait photos taken with the Starsnappers project...

They took photographs of their wonderful carnival masks....and acted as the photographer and took photos of their friends...

and used clickers to take their own photos...

An artist worked with the children to show them the lights, backgrounds and cameras they would be using....what fun!! Many of them now want to be photographers when they grow up!

African Village...

The children have really enjoyed learning about other cultures in the past two weeks and have loved playing in our African village. Take a look at some of our photos...the children enjoyed dressing up in traditional African clothing...

Have a look at our bike wash and rocket ship!

The children have been using their own ideas to create this term's role play areas for our Journey's topic.

We would really appreciate you sending in any items from home to help us with our bike wash, space rocket and forthcoming boat.

They have really enjoyed using their bike wash and have been learning about road safety with our own road signs and cycle paths...

Our Space rocket is nearly complete! The children have been very creative using their ideas to turn junk modelling materials and fabric into this so far...

And they have really enjoyed playing with our small world space station to give them lots of ideas for our own rocket...

Welcome back with International fortnight...

This week we welcomed the children back to school for the Summer Term by beginning our International Fortnight celebrations...

They have had great fun painting their paper mache 'Carnival masks' for next weeks photography workshop...

And they have really enjoyed learning about and making African and carribean flags...

Our Chicks have hatched!

This week we have been very excited about the arrival of 11 healthy and fascinating chicks hatching from our incubator! The children have enjoyed holding and caring for them.
They have also been very busy painting, drawing and writing about them and have made their own chick life-cycle wheels.
We hope you enjoy these photos...
