Nativity on Film

The children really enjoyed writing and filming their very own production. It has been wonderful to hear so many positive comments about this and I hope you all enjoyed watching it at home. They worked so well together and we had so much fun along the way! If you haven't seen it then please follow the link that was sent via Parentmail.

Here are a few action shots...

Merry Christmas!

We had a magical morning taking our Nativity on tour. We visited The Swan nursery, Conkers and The De Lucy Care Home. The children sang a mixture of carols, rhymes and songs from our Nativity. It was a really special morning.

Merry Christmas everyone!


We started at The Swan...

Then Conkers...

Finally, De Lucy House...

Rangoli patterns

Today we made beautiful rangoli patterns in groups. They look wonderful!This was the final part of our work about Diwali. We also compared Diwali to Christmas celebrations.

Whoops-A-Daisy Angel

We were so proud of all the children in their nativity production. Well done everybody!

What stars we are!

The children looked wonderful in their costumes and the play was a huge success. This is also one of our 100 memorable events - to take part in a public performance. Here is a few pictures of the Hedgehogs stars!

Diwali

We have been continuing our work on Diwali and made diva lamps from clay. This had great links to our recent science work on materials as we had to do lots of squashing, rolling and sculpting with the clay. The children are looking forward to painting them soon.

Rangoli patterns

We have been learning about the Hindu festival of Diwali. Last week the children produced some excellent mendhi patterns and today in groups they created some outstanding Rangoli patterns. Do take a look...
