Puppet Show!

As part of our topic on toys we have been looking at Puppets.
We have seen puppets from around the world - finger, glove, string, rod and even full body puppets.
We have looked at materials and made plans for making our own puppets.

  

When the Squirrels went out for Wellie Wednesday the Hedgehogs started to construct the puppets - they are looking fab!

In literacy we have been practising story telling and making puppet shows of our own. Tomorrow afternoon we are going to have a Puppet show in class - we've made posters to tell people and tickets so we know who is allowed to come and watch!

We love the Snow!!!

Willow Class have really enjoyed playing in the snow over the last few days.

It was great hearing about all your snowy adventures at the weekend - sledging, snowman building, snowball fights and snow angeling!  The children have painted some excellent pictures to show us the fun they have had.

We have also had fun in the snow at school playing in the snow at playtimes. Today Willow class got Mrs Quinn-Lock with lots of snowballs then we started to build an 'igloo'.  We thought of lots of lovely words to describe the snow which we are going to put in a snow poem of our own.

Happy New Year!

Hello and Happy New Year everyone! We hope you all had a good christmas - despite all of the illness there seems to have been about the festive period!

We are excited to be back and staring our new theme on 'Toys'!

This week we have talked and written about our christmas news and looked at what the season of 'Winter' is and what this means is happening outside in our own environment.

We had a very 'Wintery' Wellie Wednesday where we looked around us at the
trees and the plants and thought about the wildlife and what they were doing. We learnt about 'birds' and discussed how they struggle to find food in the winter.

We're happy to Say Greenfields birds now have very full tummies as we all worked hard at making a 'Tweet Treat' for them with; a fir cone, lard and seeds.
