A Fabulous First Week!

What a wonderful first week we had! It was fantastic to get together as the new St. Clare's Class and settle into our classroom together.

We've completed some beautiful artwork this week, to make our mark on our new classroom. We each designed a stunning circle design, before chopping them up to make this beautiful collaborative mural:

Every child in St. Clare's put their best foot forward into the new year by designing a creative trainer. Which is your favourite?

On Wednesday, we received a very strange notice about Hula Hoops! The children in St. Clare's all had to come up with a theory, or story, about why this might be and what could have happened for Hula Hoops to be banned. There were some fabulous pieces of writing (click on the pictures to make them larger and easier to read):

On Thursday, we needed to work together in teams on a special rescue mission! Poor Fred the worm had been out sailing when a storm struck and he was trapped on top of his boat, with his life ring underneath! The teams had to work together to rescue him- but they could not touch him, the boat, or the ring with their hands (or any part of their bodies). They could only use the paper clips and couldn't let poor Fred touch the water- or puncture him or his life ring. It wasn't as easy as you would think- it took some serious thinking, planning and teamwork!

On Friday, we enjoyed a fantastic afternoon with Bassistry- singing and dancing along with the rest of the school. What a wonderful way to end a lovely first week!
