Having learnt the story of The Little Red Hen, we decided to try and make some bread, just like the Little Hen does in the story. Luckily we were all very kind friends and did super team work, unlike the poor hen in the story and so we had some super bread rolls to take home with us and enjoy.
Diwali 2024
Class R have loved learning about the festival of Diwali. We learnt about the story of Rama and Sita and enjoyed finding out how important this story is for Hindus. We learnt about how the festival is celebrated and made our very own diva lamps. They looked beautiful and we were very proud of our creations!
Looking After Baby
Class R were delighted to welcome Pippa from 'Baby Basics' in Folkestone to talk to us about the charity and everything they do to help babies in need in our local area. We learnt all about the things that babies need to stay fed, warm and clean and were about to help unwrap a selection of different items for a toy baby. We are delighted to announce that we will be supporting Baby Basics this year for our class Courageous Advocacy Project. More details will follow very soon.
What is it like at Christmas time in Class R?
Christmas Time in Class R was full of excitement, fun and joy with lots of opportunities for exploration, creativity and learning.
Our had a Christmas tree in our home corner and had the opportunity to decorate this every day. It always looked spectacular! We also make our very own craft Christmas Tree from cardboard boxes and added to this throughout December. We loved making different decorations to add to the tree.
We were very lucky to go on our first school visit on a coach and went to Canterbury to the Gulbenkian theatre to watch a production of 'The Snowsmith'. We loved the show and especially loved the artificial snow! We were then fortunate enough to be able to walk to Brockhill School and watch their Christmas production of 'Cinderella' which was absolutely fantastic. The school made us feel incredibly welcome and we loved watching their talented drama club performing.
We all took part in a production of 'A Wriggly Nativity' with our friends in KS1. We did a fantastic job and really enjoyed telling the story of the first Christmas and learning lots of songs to perform.
Christmas offered lots of opportunities for us to be creative. A couple of examples of these were our cards which we made for our families; these were all designed by us and were as individual and unique as each of us! We also loved making table centres from natural resources as gifts for our families.
Christmas time in was so much fun in Class R and now we can't wait to see what the Spring Term will bring. #
