This week in Class 4 we have had a great time taking apart in Christmas fun and games. We had our Christmas party, where the children came dressed in their favourite Christmas jumpers of all shapes and sizes. We wore our reindeer party hats and got to use our Christmas place mats.

Santa coming to visit our classroom was such an exciting moment. He was so jolly and happy that we decided to make our own Santa Christmas cards for our parents. We hope you liked them!

On party day, we played many games such as pass the parcel and musical statues. Many children managed to win a prize.

We have finally come to the end of a hard working term. We would like to wish all our parents a fantastic Christmas break. Thank you for all your help and support this term and we hope to see you all back in January.

C4 have been in festive spirits all week long in preparation for our lovely Christmas performances.

The children carefully used their cutting skills to make their reindeer hats and added a splash of glitter here and there to give it that sparkling Christmas touch.

They also had a great time learning the words to their song and practising the dance steps and actions. Turning left and turning right, going up and then down.

It was a proud moment for us when the children managed to sing, dance and balance their hats for their performance. It was a joy and a pleasure to watch. We are sure that you will enjoy watching it just as much as we did.

Well done Class 4!

What we have been learning about this week (07.12.20)

Date: 10th Dec 2020 @ 7:08pm

This week we have been learning about the story 'The Jolly Postman'. We learnt how christmas is celebrated by christians. As a group we wrote a letter of the things we would like from Santa Claus and then posted the letter, using a stamp and envelope. For maths we played a game called build a tower, we had to roll the dice, count the dots, then build a tower using that number of bricks. In phonics, we listened to different sounds in bottles, trying to guess what they were and if they compared to any everyday sounds we hear. 

On panto day we filmed our two christmas songs that will be joined with Reception Nativity. More information on how to access this will be sent out soon.
