Watch out for the Wellie Wednesday Wolf!!!

The children from Willow class had great fun today out in the Forest area.

They dressed up in costumes and pretended to be characters from the story 'Little Red Riding Hood'. 

The children were very good at being Little Red Riding Hood and finding good hiding places and our Wolves searched high and low until they found them!

Thankfully nobody got gobbled up...although we're still looking for Granny!

Any ideas???

Red Riding Hood Cakes!

We enjoyed baking so much last week we decided to look at a different recipe and bake again this week.

We have been looking at the story of Red Riding Hood and thought it would be a good idea to bake a cake to give to someone we liked...although maybe they were a bit too tasty to give away!

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!

We're having a Wicked time in Willow!!!

We have had an action packed week this week learning all about 'Harvest and Sharing'.

 Zooming cars around the table road!

 Taking the babies out for a picnic.

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!

Our class adventure to RAF Museum Cosford!

We had a fantastic day today at Cosford!

The children enjoyed seeing all the different types of aircraft and learning a lttle about them.
We had a great workshop called 'Let's Fly' where we had to check in our luggage, go through a strict passport control, a security gate and then board 'Cosford Airlines' for a trip to a hot sunny destination!

We have some budding Pilots and Flight Attendants in Willow Class!

After a lovely lunch we visited the 'Fun and Flight' area where we got to have a go with all the different activities which helped us to see the power of wind and pressure.

As always the children were impeccably behaved!

Thank you so much to Alison (John Jarvis' Mum), Sarah (Shea's Mum), Mr Dunn (Harry's Grandpi), Mrs Herbert (Ella's Nan) and Mr Davis for their support today.
