We have had a busy start to the week getting ready for our Coronation celebration, making flags, crowns, plates, bunting and collaging King Charles III portrait.
We have been reading the story The Kings Pants and have designed our own pants for the King.
The children have had a great start to the week in our new ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ role play area. They have been having lots of fun dressing up and acting out the story.
In pairs the children have been measuring how tall they are using the beanstalk height chart and recording this in centimetres.
We have seen some fantastic drawings of castles, beanstalks and independent writing.
Here are some photos of us having lots of fun learning in our ‘Winter role-play area’. We have learnt some facts about Polar Bears and that they live in the Artic and Penguins in the Antarctica.
We have been having lots of fun in our exciting new role-play area. We have been dressing up, making toys, repeating patterns, writing cards, reading stories and looking at our numbers to twenty.

In Reception we have been looking at ourselves in the mirror and talking about what we see. We then used a range of materials to create our faces for our display.
‘Carnival of the Animals’ by Saint – Saens
We listened to the music and painted pictures to go with the animals.
We made fish and tortoises using tissue paper.
Then we created a dance to go with ‘The Aquarium’, using scarves to help.
We made elephant music using djembes and xylophones.
We have planted runner bean and cress seeds. We have learnt what a seed needs to ‘germinate’ and are enjoying watching these grow.
Today we celebrated Shrove Tuesday, which is also called Pancake Day. We learnt how to make the pancakes using flour, eggs and milk. We whisked up the ingredients and watched Mrs Chinn cook them in a frying pan. Then we tossed them in the air. It was great fun! We tasted them with different toppings and decided which ones we liked the best! Yum yum!

We having been learning facts about cold weather animals and completed an individual piece of work on this and its been displayed in our role-play area.
We used black paper, white card, glue and paint to create snowmen and igloos.
