It's great to be back at school. We all enjoyed our Christmas holiday, which seems like a long time ago now, and have settled back into school really well.
The best part of coming back to school was the snow. We loved it! We just wish that there had been a little bit more so that we could have built a snowman. However, we made some snowballs and found out, quite by accident, what happens when we try to keep snowballs in our pockets! This led on to investigating what happens when snowballs are kept in the classroom. A lovely way to learn about material changes and how to mop up great big puddles on the floor!
Our main focus has been nursery rhymes. We have very much enjoyed saying, singing and acting out our favourite nursery rhymes. We enjoyed Humpty Dumpty and thought about how he fell off the wall. Taruna said, 'Somebody pushed the wall. The wall tilted and Humpty Dumpty slid off.' We had lots of ideas, probably enough to write a book! Poor Humpty got pushed off by a tiger, blown off by the wind, frightened by a bull and pecked by a bird! We have also read the story about 'Little Lumpty' who climbed to the top of a very high wall. However, much to our delight, he eventually got down safely.
We would love to have some more nursery rhyme books, story props such as a Humpty Dumpty, dressing up clothes and small world figures, soft toys etc. to help with our story telling. If you have any that you no longer want please send them into school for us.
Next week we are going to start work on the Gingerbread Man. Watch this space just in case he runs this way!
