WELCOME TO YELLOW LADYBIRDS

The children are settling brilliantly into Yellow Ladybirds. We have been learning our new school routines, enjoying lunchtimes together and are having fun exploring our in and outdoor spaces! We have been planting bulbs and discussing what they need to survive, we have been learning Playdough Disco and getting our hand stronger for writing and we have been making new friends and learning to cooperate well with one another, respecting each other's thoughts and feelings.

Spring 1

In Yellow Ladybirds, so far this half term, we have been enjoying our new topic The Magic Paintbrush and learning all about China! We have loved trying Chinese food, including noodles with soy sauce and a hoisin-flavoured prawn cracker accompaniment.

We have listened to Chinese music and created drawings in response to it, exploring fast and slow, sharp and stilted sounds. In maths, we have been working on stamping patterns of 4 and 5.

During Creative Arts Week, we had a great time making our own versions of the painting Window Plants by John Nash. We also followed two tutorials to draw a cat and a pot of flowers, which we then stuck onto our framed window artwork made using collage and finished with tissue paper curtains.

We have had a wonderful and creative half term so far!
