Kevin the Carrot challenged us to find his friends and turn them into soup. We used child-friendly cutting utensils to chop the carrots before boiling them in stock. The soup was blended and we all tried a taste…or a sniff at least! The soup was an absolute hit with Simeon. If the children cook anything at home, we would love to see photos in school.

Circles and Triangles

The children have been learning that triangles are flat shapes with three straight sides and three corners, and that circles are flat shapes, which are perfectly round.

Inspired by the work of Wassily Kandinsky, the children used oil pastels to create their own mini masterpieces. Look what happens when we smudge the pastels.

Who has been walking on our snow?

We may never know the answer to this question but the children made some super suggestions: “A T-rex?” (Momin). “A bird?” (Areya) Specifically, “A blackbird.” (Arlo). “A chicken?” (Ryan – who is a chicken in our nativity) “An owl?” (Hugo) “A pterodactyl?” (Emilia) “A fox?” (Sophie) “Sonic?” (Ivar).

Snowfall always evokes a child’s sense of wonder!
