Money Week

We had a great time during Money Week. We learned about why saving money is important as well as why some things that we buy are 'needs' and some are 'luxuries'. We designed money boxes and we also held a whole school competition for who could design the best new money note.

We also had a visit from a lady who works in a bank and she bought in some real money for us to look carefully at. She talked to us about what banks do and how grown ups can look after their money.

During the week Class 1 and 2 made and decorated items such as bookmarks, candles, bracelets and mini mugs. On Friday we held a sale for parents and they came and bought our items. We now need to pay some money back for our raw materials and work out if we have made a profit!

Penguin Week

We had a fantastic 'Penguin Week' last week! We worked with an artist to create penguin pictures, we sang penguin songs, we learned loads of facts about penguins and we even had a special day on Friday where we all dressed as penguins and took part in a 'penguin parade'.
It was lots of fun!

Winding mechanisms

Class 1 and 2 have been making some fantastic Christmas and winter winding mechanisms this week.

Mirror Competition

Class 1 and 2 really enjoyed designing and making mirrors for a competition run by the Carriageworks Theatre. They are being displayed at the theatre and we are looking forward to seeing them when we visit the theatre to see 'Snow White' in January.

Class 2's mirror was chosen as the winner of the competition and we had a special visit from the 'Wicked Queen' to say congratulations. Well done Class 2!
