Kung Hei Fat Choi!

Hello everyone
Kung Hei Fat Choi!
To those of you who do not speak Chinese that means Congratulations and best wishes for a prosperous New Year.
In case you hadn't noticed it has been Chinese new year in class this week.
We have had all sorts going on, amongst other things there has been.. a Chinese takeaway in the role play area, dragon catching with chopsticks in the water, ribbon & dragon dancing, Chinese writing & painting and the creative area has been a hive of activity with dragon masks, lanterns and cards. And that's not all! Parents activity day brought even more fun! Despite the chilly wind lots of the children (and grown ups) enjoyed hunting for Chinese numbers and animals from the Chinese calendar and the ones who stayed indoors had a fantastic time covering the class (& themselves) with glitter whilst making lots of creations. It was like Christmas all over again!

We have managed to maintain some normality amidst all this, there has been P.E. with the big equipment (and of course the P.E. Fairy visited), we've had our weekly ball skills class, our daily phonics and numeracy lessons, reading, writing and all the usual classroom activities so we have all been super duper busy! Oh and I can't mention this week without saying congratulations to this weeks superstar! Sadly there aren't any GOLDEN TICKET winners this week, please please keep reading at home so we can get some more of our children winning a book.
Next week looks like it is going to be another busy one with the focus on FOOD! We are going to be asking the children to bring a vegetable to school so we can make soup and there may be a few more tasty treats along the way too.... oooOOOOooooo

Talking tasty treats, class RL have had a fantastic week and have earned a whole jar of warm fuzzies which means one thing... CHOCOLATE BISCUITS!!! Yeeeaaaayyyy! You can see how happy the children were after their kit kat in the photos.. (Disclaimer..Other chocolate biscuits are available)

I think that just about covers this week so without further ado here are the photos..

Until next time
Miss Latham and Mrs Lewis
