Spring 1: Week 5

Friday 09 February 2024

This week, we’ve been learning all about the Lunar New Year. Our focus story was The Magic Paintbrush by Julia Donaldson. We used our imaginations to think about what we would paint if we were given a magic paintbrush.

Teddy – I would paint a Ferrari.
Gurjeevan – I would paint a Lamborghini.
Bryher – I would paint a princess.
Gurshaan – I would paint rainbow water.
Ivy – I would paint a unicorn.

On Wednesday, we watched a video about how people prepare and celebrate the Lunar New Year.

Ayah – They clean and decorate their house.
Edie – They cook nice food.

Yesterday, we read The Great Race and learnt about how the Chinese Zodiac started. We had a go at putting the animals in order.

Help at home: Can you remember to order of the Zodiac animals? You could draw a picture or write them in a list.
Here are some of this week’s chilli challenges in action…

Finally, thank you to all who attended the parent-teacher meetings this week. It was lovely to talk about the children’s learning and their fantastic progress.

As always, I hope you all have a happy and healthy half-term break. Don’t forget to KEEP READING and send me an email of what you get up to. I look forward to seeing you all again on  Monday 19 February.
