We have made Chinese lanterns, Chinese dragon puppets, coloured and painted dragon masks and held handfuls of noodles. In PE this week we made our own Chinese dragon dance. In the pictures you can see that Miss Wright was the middle part and all of the children were made up the different parts of the dragon. It was so much fun.
In Phonics this week we have been learning lots of new sounds, including ow, ur, oo, ar, or.
It has been a very busy week for Phonics as we have learnt 5 new sounds and have been looking back at all the tricky words that we have learnt. We have also been practising our writing skills and are getting much better at writing these sounds.
In Numeracy this week we have had lots of fun looking at Ordinal Numbers e.g. 1st 2nd 3rd and putting numbers in order.
Here are the children putting themselves in order in our Numeracy carpet session.
Ask your child if they can remember the Chinese new year story about the special race that the animals had. The children loved it.
As you may know this year is the Chinese year of the snake and what better way to celebrate than to have a REAL snake in school. The children were much braver than the teachers. Here are a few pictures of the snake.
Thank you to all Mums and Dads for their support this half term. We hope that you all have a restful week off and we will see you all on Monday 25th February - ready for some more super learning.
Ladybird class.
