UTW~ Winter
We have been learning about winter this week and went on a walk around the school grounds to search for signs of winter. We spotted ice, frost, berries, holly, catkins and lots of bare trees. We even spotted a tiny icicle! We compared what we saw on our winter walk to what we had seen on our Autumn walk last term.
Forest School
This week we had our first forest school session. We met Holly, our forest school leader and explored the special forest school area in our school grounds, we enjoyed hammock swinging, drilling, sawing, necklace marking, mud sledging and den building!
Class Trip to the Pantomime
On Thursday, we went on a class trip to the Theatre Royal in BSE to watch Aladdin the Pantomime. We were so excited to travel on the bus and sit in our special seats at the theatre. We watched a great show and were incredibly well behaved. We made Mrs M very proud! We sang, we danced, we clapped and we laughed! When we got back to school, we had a special picnic lunch in our classroom too~ what a treat!
