Penguin Patrol!

Date: 16th Dec 2023 @ 9:42am

What a busy week! Lots of happy and excited penguins. 

This week we have all been on penguin patrol. We have been looking after our friends, passing on smiles and looking after one another on the playground at lunch time. We have been working with different friends in class and everyone has enjoyed learning and sharing with each  other.

In maths we have been learning about four sided shapes. We have been shape detectives and have enjoyed using some tricky maths equipment to make 2D and 3D shapes.

Our Christmas dinner was a very happy and festive occasion as well as our visit to Longton library. The children were amazing listeners to the Christmas stories and several people commented on how polite and well mannered the children were. Super stars!

We had a story time with Santa this week. Our year one friends came to join us. We even sent Santa an email and saw him on our class screen. We had to wake him up first!

We have had a very creative classroom this week with glitter and glue, Pom poms and paper being used everywhere.

Friday was an amazing drama and IT afternoon. The children blew my socks off! 

Lots of art work and crafts will be coming home this week. Please send in a carrier bag with your child’s name written on it. I will send things home steadily throughout the week.

Reading books will be changed and sent home for Christmas. I will also send home the ‘All about me’ book so your child can add some extra pictures and writing to share in the new year. Some books did not come back after the October half term holiday - please check as the children thorughly enjoy sharing these books with our class and their buddies. 

We are looking forward to a final week of festive fun and learning! Party time, stories and Christmas stockings! Cards, calendars and planting too! A sleigh to build, carols to sing and a stable to create! Candy cane phonics, cheeky elf writing and a beautiful nativity for you to watch!
