Friendship Week

Last week the children enjoyed a variety of activities to do with Friendship.
At the end of the week we watched a short film about a chameleon who was different to the others and from this film, we generated lots of 'feeling' words which we used in our literacy / art activities.
The children used some great language to describe how the chameleon felt at different times in the film: dejected, glum, miserable, nervous, joyful,  ..... We also thought about places a red chameleon could hide and the children came up with some great ideas!

We have also been building some flying saucers and rockets in Class 2 (to rescue Little Wolf  from the moon!) and the children are currently making some aliens to fly the space craft. The children have as ever done a great job with these!

The build up to Christmas has always been my favourite time of year at school and we are beginning work on our Christmas Play now, which this year is called 'Mary's Knitting'. Lots of singing, acting, dancing and dressing up to come!!

Enjoy a few photos below to demonstrate the children's work:

'The red chameleon is hiding in the red bit of the rainbow.'

'The red chameleon is hiding in the rose garden at sunset!'

'The red chameleon is hiding in the tree with the autumn leaves.'
