mmm...Hedgehog rolls anyone?

You may have smelt a delicious bread baking smell from Willow Class yesterday as we were baking some Hedgehog bread rolls.
We have been reading the story of The Little Red Hen and we all wanted to help her bake bread, so we decided to do our own!


We thought it would be fun to make our bread roll into a little Autumn animal so we made Hedgehogs!!!
I hope you got to taste some yesterday...or maybe they were just to tasty to share!

Wonderful Willow Workers!!!

All of the children have worked so hard this week.
We have been looking at touch counting and matching numbers up to 20. We have made posters and labels for our fruit and veg stall - making a special effort to write our letters neatly and hear the first sounds of words.
So far we have learnt the leters and sounds for - s a t p i n m d at school, so you could have a practise at 'eye spy' with those letters at home!

Our best 'Mark Makers' this week are Harrison and Ellie P.

Our Stars of the week are Lucas and Ella B.

Well done Willow!

Hello New Willow Class 2012 - 2013!

All of the new reception children have settled in so well to Willow class we have been very proud of them.
We have been talking about 'Family' this week and the children have done an excellent job of making 'Lolly stick' puppets to speak about different people in their family!



The children have loved their free choice time! We must have some budding racing car drivers as the bikes, trikes and cars are a very popular choice!
