Stars of the week 23.1.15

Annie really impressed me with her neatly presented handwriting this week! Keep up the hard work Annie!

George has been chosen as a star of the week because of his fantastic effort in his homework and in his reading at home.

Stars of the week 9.1.15

It was a really tricky choice for the stars of the week because the children did so much fantastic homework over the Christmas holidays!

I chose James for his research into flags and his very neat presentation. 

I also chose Keeley for finding out about recipes from around the world and for her super map of the world!

Christmas baking!

Year 1 have been doing some Christmas baking and have made mince pies!!

We needed to make pastry first so we started by rubbing the butter and flour together...

Then we mixed icing sugar and egg into our mixture...

After that we wrapped the pastry in cling film and popped it in the fridge whilst we went out to play. When we came back from playtime we used a rolling pin to roll the pastry out into a thin layer.

We cut out circles for the bottom of our mince pies and then we used Christmas cutters to make shapes for the top once we had spooned mincemeat into the middle. 

Mrs Bridge very kindly cooked the mince pies for us in the school kitchen; they smelt delicious when they came out of the oven!

We hope that our families enjoy them...if Year 1 don't eat them all first!!! 

Christmas Party

On Monday, Year 1 and 2 had a Christmas Party! We put on our party clothes and had a great time dancing, playing games and even saying hello to a very special visitor!

Stars of the week 17.10.14

This week year two have been working really hard to measure objects in centimetres.

We chose Brandon as the star of the week because he was able to measure objects to the nearest half centimetre!

In literacy, we have been learning about the features of an information page and learning why they are important.

We chose Sian as the other star of the week because she was able to identify lots of features and explain how they are used! 

Who will be the stars of the week next?
