We read the story and all joined in saying the rhyme Run run as fast as you can you can’t catch me I’m the Gingerbread Man.
All the children had fun making Gingerbread and then cutting out a Gingerbread man. When they were cooked the children decorated them using icing. We hope they all enjoyed eating them at home.

This half term we have been looking at different fairy stories and traditional tales. We read the story Goldilocks and have done lots of activities about the characters.
We had a tray full of porridge oats which we used to empty and fill different sized bowls. We pretended to be Goldilocks eating all the porridge and we fed the three bears. We even wrote letters in the oats.
Some children made porridge and then had their own bowl to try.

We have enjoyed reading different Elmer stories this week.

Thank you to all the parents who have come to the parent drop ins this half term.

This week we have enjoyed making colourful Elmer the elephants.

This week we have read a story about a tadpole who turns into a frog.
The children explored mixing colours to try and make green to paint their frog.

Last week we read the story ‘The very hungry caterpillar.

We have had lots of fun making caterpillars with our moms and dads.

We have also been very creative making butterfly pictures and printing circles using paint to make long caterpillars.

We have been watching the caterpillars in our classroom getting very big.

We have been learning a new nursery rhyme.

Our new topic this half term is ‘In the garden’.
We have been having fun looking at mini beasts and playing in the flower shop.

Thank you to all the parents who brought a hat in and stayed to help their children decorate their Easter Bonnet. Everybody did an amazing job and produced beautifully decorated hats. All the children were very excited to wear their fantastic bonnets to show the rest of the school.
