Junk Modelling instrument homework fun

On Thursday the 27th of February, the we will be having a Mardi Gras celebration day. The colours of Mardi Gras are Green, gold and purple, and we would like all the children to come to school wearing one, two or even all of those colours on that day.

On the day we will have a parade around school wearing our masks and playing our instruments, plus lots more Carnival fun.

Over the half term we would like children in Class 1 to make a musical instrument to bring into school on the first week back.  We would love to see what they can create using empty cereal boxes/tubes/ food packaging etc.  Don’t forget to put photos up on Tapestry of their creating.

The children will then get a chance to show the rest of the class their handiwork and the whole class will use them as part of our Mardi Gras celebrations.

We are also collecting junk modelling so that the children can do more junk modelling during Child Initiated times.

Thank you

Class 1 Update

The children have made a super start to the new term.  This term we are basing most of the children’s learning around ‘The Jolly Postman and Friends’ story.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeTTqQoJ2Gw

So far the children have found out about the journey of a letter and have been very busy writing their own.  Every two weeks we focus on a different story from the book.  This week and last week the children have enjoyed a range of activities based around Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  They particularly enjoyed cooking their own porridge!

The Jolly Postman and Friends Class 1 2020

Next week we will be taking a break from the book and will be finding out about Chinese New Year.  On Friday 31st January we would like all the children to come dressed in something red, as we will have a Class 1 Chinese New Year Day, which will include some Dragon Dancing.
