This week we have been learning about the circus and have really enjoyed remembering our trip to the Hippodrome. We have been building on our memories and have been learning about the history of the circus, what it used to look like, who used to go to the circus and what you may have seen at the circus.
We have had lots of different themed days and have learnt about clowns, performers, animals and the circus big top.
Here are a few of our favourite parts of the week:
Amanda decorated a clown outfit using counters.
Harvey made a circus out of Lego- including animals.
Callum also made a model of a circus.
On Wednesday we also had a visit from a 'real' performer who works in a circus. He taught us lots of new skills. Here are a few pictures us pretending to be circus performers:
Ladybird class- spinning plates
Miss Brind had a go too.
We got to chose an activity that we liked.
Wow Jake, are u performing and hopping at the same time?
Jessica is getting very good at walking on the stilts.
This week we have also been practising for sports day. On this day the children will carry out lots of races and Mummy's and Daddy's can come too.
The children have really been working hard, but the best thing about our practise has been the children's wonderful attitude to taking part, not worrying about winning, and encouraging each other to do their best.
We have also been looking at our Phonics and making sure that we can remember our Phase 2 and 3 sounds. Along with all of our tricky words in phase 2, 3 and 4.
We hope that you all have a wonderful weekend and we will see you nice and early on Monday morning.
Ladybirds
