It appears that some elves have moved in - thank fully not like the elves we had to stay over christmas!!!!!!! They have been fixing shoes for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, we had to write them questions on tiny mini paper, ofcourse - which they replied to!!!!!!!! We found elf related words hidden in our reading area and even teeny, tiny books to write in. We have also done a lot of measuring, estimating, designing and problem solving.
This morning we watched an enchanting Elves and the Shoemaker ballet on the Cbeebies i-player. It really was excellent and the children were engrossed! This lead us to draw a shoe that we would like and writing a caption to go with it. Due to my very cold feet I challenged them to make me a shoe that would keep me warm and it had to have a label attached to it..........some super scientific thinking and reasoning here! We began making some papier-mache shoes this afternoon - they will be stunning!
Thank you to those of you who were able to come to the information session last week.
I apologise for cancelling the storytime last week due to sickness. It will be on this Friday.
We have introduced a daily "Time To Shine" opportunity - this takes place after lunchtime. We choose a child and put their name on a light box, the rest of the class think of wonderful, positive and kind things to say about that child. These are then shared, along with comments from the staff. Every child will have a turn of being on the box. So far, Edie, Rufus, Henry W, Henry C, Isaac and Hugo have shone like a star!!!!!!!! Well done - lots of wonderful things were said such as, "they are kind, caring, they make me laugh, I like playing with them, they never give up, they make the right choices, they give good hugs............."
See you all tomorrow,
Mrs. J and the Team.
