'It's My Bread'

Room 7's shared book this week has been 'It's My Bread'. On Thursday afternoon we made toast, and on Friday the children wrote about the experience with Mrs Walsh.

Pop into class and have a look at the new wall display with all the children's photos and writing.

Loose Parts

This week the arrival of a new 'loose part' - an old steering wheel from one of Mrs Rush's son's cars has ensured that the children have been on some great imaginary journeys in a variety of vehicles!

Mrs Gregory

On Tuesdays children who are just about ready to start school visit for the morning.  Mrs Gregory also visited.  She looks like she's having lots of fun in Room 7!

Swimming Term 2 Week 1

The children were very excited to go swimming today.  They all had a great time, and it was a nice way to end their first week of school.

Insects! Insects! Insects!

This week we have been learning about insects, and we have an insect discovery table in class. We have enjoyed sorting the insects and making places for them to live.

Ice creams!

Our shared book this week was 'The Giant's Ice Cream'.  Yesterday we spooned yoghurt into moulds.  Mrs Rush put them in the school freezer so that we could have our own ice creams this afternoon after a busy (and hot) day at school.

Mrs Wishy Washy

We have been reading the shared book 'Mrs Wishy Washy' this week. Instead of mud (as in the book) we made gloop.  The children really enjoyed the sensory experience of getting their hands into it and squishing, squeezing, dripping, oozing!
