February 2024

In February we have enjoyed celebrating all the nice things this month has to offer such as Valentine's Day and Pancake Tuesday. We have enjoyed some activity based learning activities for Valentines and Transport. The class have been very busy with their hands making toy cars, raspberry ruffles, scones and painting and filling Valentine planters. Keep up the hard work Class 8.

We have been getting stuck into our new topic of Transport and all the boys have really enjoyed all the hands on activities. They loved releasing their hot air balloons in the playground and watching if they took off or not. We have been focusing on our time work this month and made some lovely clocks for our classroom.

We have had a busy month in Class 8. Some of our December highlights have been - the Christmas Show,  chippy lunch, making Christmas cards and crafts for family  and friends.
