A Jubilee Party fit for a Queen!

This week we have been learning about what the Queen's Diamond Jubilee is and decorating bunting and crowns for our party!
This afternoon Willow, Rowan and Nursery all got together for their Jubilee party. We had loads of fun eating traditional English food like; cucumber sandwiches, jam tarts and lemonade! Then we played some 'pass the parcel' and had a 'bop'! What a fab way to celebrate the Queens 60 years on the throne!

Our Olympic Torch Visit!

This week in Willow class we have been learning about the Olympics. We looked at What the Olympic games are today and what they were like hundreds of years ago when they began in Greece.
Today we all went to see the Olympic torch on its journery through Shrewsbury!

The children were fantastic and we had a very memorable time waving our flags and cheering on the parade of vehicles!

Thank you so much to all the 'grown ups' who gave up their time to help;-
Mrs Rogers (Jorja's Nan), Brian (Harry's Grandad), Mrs Hamon (Isabella's Mum), Alison (John's Mum) and Mr Davies (Charlotte Davis Brown's Dad).

Look at our Minibeast Sketches!

Today we did some observational sketches of minibeasts.
We think the children did a fantastic job! They were brilliant at filling the page with their picture and using their art pencil to shade dark and light areas.

Minibeast Mayhem!

We've been having a fantastic time over the last 2 weeks hunting for minibeasts and thinking about their 'habitats'.  We have found out that different minibeasts like to have different homes. Ladybirds and butterflies like long grass and flowers, worms like the soil and we have found plenty of woodlice and earwigs under logs.

 We decided to make a hotel especially for the minibeasts. We filled tubes with different things that minieasts like to live in - grass, feathers, sticks, soil, leaves, flowers and wool.  We think all different types of minibeasts will be coming to visit our hotel!
