This morning the children from Birch and Oak class visited our neighbours at Martin Court and sang a selection of Christmas songs. As well as spreading Christmas cheer to our neighbours, several of the children commented on their return to school how much they had enjoyed the visit.

To reinforce learning about the importance of energy saving, Dudley House had a ‘No Power’ morning today. The children attended a special assembly, including a Christingle making session and worked collaboratively making decorations for the hall. After break Oak class made music with hand chimes, Birch class had fun with practical maths and Hazel class sorted textures and shiny items.

Oak class were asked to create a game to play with their classmates that would help consolidate their energy saving knowledge. The class have had a great time this afternoon playing board games and answering quiz questions created on the Scratch platform.

The Nursery and Reception children in Hazel class, have made and decorated cakes to celebrate a fictional birthday. They wrote invitations, designed wrapping paper and wrapped presents, made birthday cards as well as attending the party and eating their cakes.

Hazel class have visited Morrisons’ this morning. The Reception and Nursery children had a look around the shop and each child had an item to buy. We are planning on making cakes for a character in a story we know, so watch out for pictures of our lovely cakes, and if you are a member of the class you will have a cake to try at home. Thank you to the Morrisons staff who were very obliging and all the shoppers in Morrisons this morning who gave us space and time. Next week we will sorting our own food to put on our own supermarket shelves!

Today Dudley House began ‘Switch Off Fortnight’. Children enjoyed learning how to save energy during assembly today and will be telling you how to save energy at home too!

Children at art club had fun tonight painting with brushes and hands!
