The children are painting the Chinese flag .

The children have put chocolate coins in red envelopes to represent money and good luck. We have chosen teachers and helpers in school to give them too.

The children have been making Chinese kites!

The children have been creating the Chinese flag using the IPads.

As the children have been learning about people who help us, the story we read last week was called The Jolly Postman. We discussed how lovely the postman was and how he delivered important letters . We discussed that school has a postman and without him our letter from the queen wouldn’t have arrived! So we wrote him letters to say thank you for helping us.

This week the children are preparing for Chinese New Year!

We are extremely excited and will be learning lots about the Chinese culture. We will be singing songs, dancing, making crafts, counting in Chinese , writing in Chinese and trying some Chinese food.

If you have anything to share we would love to put it on our information station.

I will be putting regular updates on our amazing work this week.

Well done to all the children who have made a start on their homework. I am so pleased!

Well done to Alex for his amazing fire engine model! I can’t wait to see everyone else’s!

We have been very busy on our first week back. We have been doing some lovely drawings of police officers!

We would like to say a big thank you for our lovely gifts and cards. We wish you all a very happy Christmas and we are both excited for the new year!

Lots of love

Miss Warren and Mrs Keeley

The children have been looking at different apps. We have been on zookazam looking at different animals , we managed to convince one to come in our classroom. We talked about what it looks like, how it moved, why it doesn’t look like any other animal etc . The children loved having a chameleon in their classroom.
