We looked at the hail stones and watched them melt on our hands.  ‘They turn to water!’ The children were able to say what the hail was made from and what happened when it touched our warm hands!

There might not have been much snow in our area, but we certainly made the most of it!

Year Two made a fascinating discovery today. They talked about what they had found and made predictions.

Today the children wrapped up warm and put on their wellies to explore the cold outdoors. We listened to the noise of our footprints and described what the ice and snow felt like using words such as freezing, frosty, crunchy and squelchy.

The children then collected some ice to bring into class…

Today the children visited Church to look at the Nativity scene and to hear the story of the Wise Men visiting Jesus. The children remembered their Christmas assembly and were able to see Jesus, Mary and Joseph with their special visitors in Church. 

Y2 enjoyed visiting the library this morning. 

Nursery children have had a fun filled party day today.  Both nurseries joined together in the hall for pass the parcel, musical statues and disco dancing.  Children also enjoyed games and party food in their own nursery settings. 

Y2 have collected to buy a Cheerful Children’s stocking from CAFOD World Gifts. Thank you for all your donations.

As part of a bit of Christmas fun, the children enjoyed a board game day.
 

It was lovely to see the children sharing their games and smiling all day.

Some fabulous independent writing today in Reception.  

Today we have been using foam printing blocks to create prints.

We used ink rollers to apply red first to our blocks and then after letting it dry added green to our Christmas style prints.

Today the children wore their Christmas jumpers and took part in the School Games Santa Dash event. They had lots of fun walking and running with their friends followed by a surprise visit to see Father Christmas. How exciting!
