World Book Day 2010

We had a fantastic day. Lots of us dressed up as characters from Fantastic Mr Fox. We had lots of Matildas and Sophies too. We read the Enormous Crocodile and then we made our own Roly-Poly birds. They were quite difficult to make but they look fantastic.

We have really enjoyed working on the laptops. We have looked at the Espresso program. We work with a partner. We've found out lots of information about vehicles.

History Workshop

We looked at some old toys. The boys liked the wooden gun best. The girls liked the musical instruments and the doll.We loved looking at all the old things and then trying them out. Georgia was very good at making the bed. We were good at ironing.We learnt how to lay a table properly. We pretended to be servants. We cleaned the silver. We hung the washing up. We cleaned the shoes. It was great fun.

What a brilliant time we had making our rockets. We had to listen carefully to the instructions. We had some mums in to help too. After we'd made them we were able to decorate them. They all looked fantastic. The best part was when we launched them - we were able to press the button. It wa fantastic. They went so high.

Mrs Lewis is a health visitor. She came in to tell us about her job. She showed us how to measure and weigh babies. She showed us how to give an injection properly too. She showed us some tests she has to do, including eye tests. Amber-Jane was very good.

European Day of Languages

Aloys's Mum Madame Duhamel came in to teach us some French. We learnt to count to 10. We listened to some stories in French, we played some games with French instructions. The best part was our "French breakfast". We had brioche, croissant, bagette, strawberry jam and orange or black currant juice. It was so delicious. We also did some art work. We looked at the work of Seurat and tried to use our little fingers to paint in the "pointilist" style.

Playing in the hospital
