We have finally made it to the end of our first half term! We have been so busy getting used to our new routines as a mixed class but it has gone amazingly and the children are really settled and loving our new class. Rio brought in two fun science experiments he had been doing at home to show us!

As an end of half term treat we had been looking forward my dog, Obi, coming in to visit. He loved coming into year 1 a few years ago when I was teaching in there and the children were asking lots about him. He loves to play fetch and chase a tennis ball which the children thought was great. They took it in turns to throw his ball for him and we even did some races on the playground. Obviously Obi won them all but the children did great running too!

We have been finishing off our art project by adding lead printing on the top of our crayons and paint. The art work is a spider web and is inspired by the book the Spider Weaver. We have yet to add a sewing stitch to our art work – this is something that the children are excited but nervous about!
