Fun Fridays Rock

At the end of a long week, the children really enjoy 'Fun Friday' where we focus some lesson time on art, craft, cutting and drawing.  These activities develop the children's creativity, concentration, social skills and fine motor skills.

We have been learning about the changes that are happening around us including the seasons and we created some winter tree artworks.  We also created spring trees by drawing a tree and creating blossoms by ripping up pink tissue paper and gluing them on. Both these creations were shown to the junior syndicate when Room 2 led the assembly on Friday 27th May.

We also created bright giraffe artworks and learnt how to mix yellow and red paint to make orange.





Independent Reading



After morning interval each day our class practices reading and writing skills.  
In groups the children choose a book and practice independent reading.  The groups then rotate between using the interactive whiteboard and activity tables to practice letter/sound recognition and high frequency words. We then go over the days reading book which is taken home each night to read again with family.
