Miss Helen is teaching us dances linked to our Science topic on electricity. We have thought of different movements to make an electrical circuit dance with a partner and incorporated switches, wires and different components into our sequence.

This half term our topic is superheroes. The children have set up a hero small world area and made their own superheroes to have adventures in it. We shall be hearing all about superheroes both in stories and those who help us in real life.

We had a lovely break time today playing in the snow. We made snowballs, snow angels, snow men and lots of other creative ideas!

We could barely hold our excitement when we saw the snow falling outside so you can imagine what we were like when we were finally outside!
