On Monday, the children selected their mode of transport to cross the English Channel...............we docked, landed or pulled into the station in France. During the week we crossed borders into Spain and Italy...............our wow words this week have been replaced by French, Spanish and Italian words!
We have learned about famous landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Sagrada Familia. These have been used to inspire us to construct and to design and make, along with the football stadiums for Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain, both inside and out. We also looked at super cars that are produced in these countries as well as the flags of the countries. Travelling abroad has also inspired us to write postcards, shopping lists for pasta dishes, risotto dishes and paella dishes as well as what we might need to pack in a suitcase to visit one of these countries. Our art this week has been introducing a technique called Pointillism and exploring the technique that Georges Seurat developed. We loved learning the song "Frere Jacques" and will continue to immerse ourselves into classical music composed by Claude Debussy, Frederic Chaupin and Antonio Vivaldi.
Staff have been sharing their favourite books this week and we are very excited to celebrate World Book Day tomorrow! Children that are doing Forest Schools tomorrow are encouraged to come into school wearing their book day costume and bringing their warm Forest School clothes in a bag, which we will change into. A reminder, the groups are: the Polar Bears, the Red Pandas and the Brown Bears.
We are looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow in your costumes!
Mrs. J, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Burgess and a huge thank you to Mrs. Briant and Mrs. Cleaver, who have been working in Reception during some afternoons.
