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

We have had an action packed week this week learning all about 'Harvest and Sharing'.
Here's a little taster of what we've been up to in our free choice time...

 
 Making really squidgy muddy puddles to splash in!  Catching minibeasts in Insect City.

 

 Bhangra Dancing (Indian Harvest dance)

 Making playdough and salt dough fruit.

 Zooming cars around the table road!

 Taking the babies out for a picnic.

and of course Willow classes current favourite past time....Practising our racing driver skills!

 Mrs Quinn-Lock had a go but needs to practise more!

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.

Little Ninjas!!!

Willow Class loved being 'Little Ninjas' yesterday. Paul came to school and talked to us about Martial Arts.  He showed us how to stand and do some different punches and kicks.

At the end we used all of our moves on an imaginery monster!
We were great Ninjas!!!

We've been around the world!!!

This week is Arts week at Greenfields school and we are looking at art from around the world!  We have made some Chinese tangram puzzles and Plum Blossom blow paintings,

 Some aboriginal dot art, Native american Totem Poles and masks and some African cave and art and wall hangings!

This afternoon Paul Cotterill from Little Ninjas came in to show and teach us some Martial arts! We were all fab Ninja's and have made Ninja promises not to use the moves on anybody!

We're very proud of our work which will be displayed ready for open evening!

Watch out there's a Virus about!!!

Today we arrived at school to find a mystery barrel on the top playground! It was oozing with a green gooey substance.

Mr Morris called an emergency assembly! We weren't allowed near the barrel the mixture inside was causing people to become poorly with a strange virus...Feeder Lings Virus!!!

We had to all have our shoes sprayed so we didn't spread the virus and some children near the site had to wear face masks!

Willow Class decided that we could be smart scientists and make a 'Marvellous Medicine' which would cure the virus. We wrote lists of all the different things we could gather from our craft cupboard and outdoors and went to work collecting batches of ingredients!

We all decided on 6 ingredients that we would mix to create our magic potion! We did a really good job of writing all the ingredients we wanted down so we knew what we needed to mix!

We wrote some instructions to tell people how to use our medicines!

In the afternoon we came up with some 'eye catching' names for our medicines.

One of Mrs Quinn-Lock's favourites was 'Greeny Meany Genie Potion'!
