We are celebrating in Kingfishers

In Kingfishers are enjoying our topic 'Time To Celebrate'.

Last week we were thinking about birthdays and why they are important and how different people celebrate them.  Kingfishers finished their week by having a birthday party for our class bear (Ted).  They wrote lists of party food and filled party bags in the role play.  We thought about the information we need in an invitation, and then helped Ted to write his, inviting our own toys to his party.  During the party the children used their number and problem solving skills to work out how many hats, cups and plates were needed at the different tables.






This week we are celebrating Chinese New Year.  After watching video clips of dragon dances, Kingfishers made up their own, thinking about the movements they had observed.  They have also been busy using shapes to print patterned dragons, using their cutting skills to make lanterns, and cooking and trying new foods










We can't wait to find out about weddings and christening next week!

Welcome Box Event

A huge thank you for the donations of deodorant that you kindly gave for the welcome boxes.  It was a great event, with all the schools coming together to fill around 80 boxes of goodies for refugee families arriving in our city.  All the Learning Leaders did a brilliant job of promoting the event and decorating the boxes.
