Music Lessons
We have been experimenting how to make different sounds with a variety of musical instruments. How many of the instruments can you recognise?

Welcome to our first blog of 2013.
Mrs Leeks and I have thoroughly enjoyed our first two weeks back and thought you might like to catch up with some of our latest photos.
Our Christmas play was very well received. Thanks for all your help with the costumes.
We had lots of fun making the puppets in DT. A huge thank you to all the people who came in and helped out. It makes all the difference and also meant that I didn't have to thread twenty needles by myself- phew!

Even Zippy had his own party hat!
Party food time

Guess Who?
Pin the nose on Rudolph
No danger of any peeping!

Cutting out our puppets
Just to give you advance notice... We are celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 7th March, when both the staff and children have the opportunity to come to school as a character from a book.
Look out for photos from our Indian Experience session this coming Friday.

Children in Need Day - November 2012
On Friday 16th November, we had lots of fun at school, in order to raise money for Children in Need. Firstly, we were allowed to wear our pyjamas. (Some of us even brought our favourite teddies to join in the fun!)
We baked Pudsey Bear biscuits and once they were cold, we iced them. The best bit was sprinkling Hundreds and Thousands to make it look like Pudsey's fur. We used cherries for his mouth and raisins for his eyes. I'm not too sure how many of the biscuits would have actually arrived home, but hopefully, you'll be able to spot Pudsey in one or two of the photos. (By the way, did you know that Pudsey was named after the town in which the Graphic Designer who created him, was born? No, neither did I until last week.)
We tried to imagine what it must be like if you cannot see properly. One of us wore a blindfold and tried to navigate around the classroom by listening to our friends giving instructions. This was much more difficult than it sounds! Secondly we played a game where we had to shut our eyes and try to draw objects which other people described.
Kestrel Class children became designers for the day and decided what outfits might suit Pudsey. Boots had some exciting activities on their website and we enjoyed doing some maths which was based around various Children in Need activities.
It was lovely to see the children having so much fun, whilst raising money for a very worthwhile cause. Thank you to you all for your donations.
