For the last two weeks, Year 1 have been very busy practising for their Christmas show. The children have been fantastic and remembering their lines and singing their hearts out! We can't wait to show you the final production. No pictures of the rehearsals though... we want it all to be a surprise!
In addition to lots of rehearsals, the children had so much fun in their smoothie lessons in Design and Technology. They have been tasting forest fruits, planning what to put in their own smoothie, making their smoothie and designing the packaging for their smoothie bottle. We had some lovely discussion about the healthy fruits we've used and loved watching their faces when they tried some of the different mixtures!
We were also lucky to have a virtual visit from Nancy at the CORUM Lifebus. The children were very excited to see her and her special friend Harold the Giraffe! We discussed how things have been different for us at home and school since COVID and how all have different emotions surrounding this. The children talked very openly and it was a good way to about how they were feeling in a fun environment.
We also had Anti-bullying week, where we discussed what it is to be a bully, how we could help friends who are unhappy and what we would do if we saw or heard people being unkind to someone. We're continuing to have weekly stories related to our Personal, Social, Health and Emotional curriculum; all of which are resulting in wonderful classroom discussions.
All in all, a very busy couple of weeks!
