Super hero den building.

We've had great fun out on the field this week building secret hideout dens for Super Hero's to live in!

We were very good at working together to get materials like sticks, pegs, string and tarpaulin and working out ways to make a good 'Hideout'!

Does anyone fancy moving in?

Is it a bird? is it a plane? No its...STICKMAN!!!

We read a brilliant story today all about a man made from sticks. We decided it would be good to make our own stick people. When we went out to Wellie Wednesday today we had a go at finding some good sticks for a body, arms and legs.

 We used string to tie them together and tied on grass and leaves for their hair!

We had great fun playing with them and now we've taken them home to live in our gardens!

Brilliant Build a Bear!

We had a fantastic outing to Build a Bear Workshop in Telford on the last day before Half term!
We have been learning all about toys and what they are made from. It was great all helping to make our brand new class bear 'Carousel'!
First we chose the type of bear we wanted, then we put some stuffing in him using the special machine. When  there was enough stuffing inside him the lady stitched him together. Then we all had to give him a brush and blow dry to make him extra fluffy! Finally we chose some lovely clothes and shoes for him to wear and dressed him.
We think he looks fantastic!

Thank you all parent helpers for your support.
Thank you 'Build a Bear Workshop, Telford'.

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.
