Hello children, parents and carers,
Here are some news from another busy and fun week here at St Adrians.
As you can already guess, this week we took part in different celebrations. Our home corner turned into a party kitchen full of presents, bunting, cakes and sweets. There was also pizza and yummy sandwiches. We prepared some cakes on the playdough table. We’ve made a special chocolate playdough and had lots of gems, sticks and patterned rollers to decorate our ‘delicious’ creations!
All these celebrations were part of our new RE topic Local Church – Community. The children were thinking about what people celebrate and why they celebrate. Next week we will link these experiences with what the parish family celebrates. We will discuss further what ‘Parish family’ means and what sort of celebrations take place in Church.
We also role played a Bible story called ‘Mary and Joseph take baby Jesus to the Temple’ When Simeon and Anna saw baby Jesus, they couldn’t believe their eyes. They waited for a long time to see God’s son. When they finally met him they said that ‘He is the Savior of the world’ and ‘He is the light of the world’.
What a better way to learn the story, but to pretend we are Anna, Simeon, Mary and Joseph. Have a look:
In Little Wandle we learnt 3 new digraphs and 1 new trigraph.
We also learnt 3 new tricky words: my, by, all. We have added them to your child’s orange tricky words books, for you to practice at home.
In English we very much enjoyed a lovely text ‘The snowman’. The children experienced the book in so many ways: made own snowman, danced with snowy ribbons, learnt how to build a snowman, watched the film, cooked biscuits and hot chocolate. The final piece was a very own ‘Snowman book’. I can’t tell you how proud they made me feel while drawing and writing their books. Here are some lovely examples:
And finally. This week has been much warmer and we really enjoyed our garden. We are already planning what to plant and started slowly tiding it up.
Inset day – Monday 29.01.24
February half term – 19th – 23rd February
Have a lovely weekend.
Looking forward seeing you all on Tuesday.
