Children in Need...

The children really enjoyed 'Children in Need' on Friday, we coloured in pictures of Pudsey, made masks, iced biscuits and watched some of the artists perform on Youtube. It was lovely to see all the wonderful cakes that had been made by the older children too!


Moustache leaves?!

Well, who would have thought that leaves joined together would make good moustaches!

We have been working very hard in Dosbarth Ellifant! In numeracy - we picked a card (even number), counted the correct number of 'people' for that card, and then halved that number by sharing out the people equally to each side of the card. The children all did very well with this task! Well done! :)

Leaf sequencing - sorting activity

Today we sequenced leaves to make a beautiful garland for the church wedding next Wednesday! All the children really enjoyed this activity :)




Empty baby wipe packets...

You might have noticed a poster on the entrance to our building saying 'Fancy wiping out waste'...well here's a bit more about it:

Just by collecting your old baby wipe packets, you could
help raise money for Ellie’s Fund Brain Tumour Trust,
to help families of children with brain tumours,
and to raise brain tumour awareness.

My mum is collecting these for Ellie's trust so if anyone has any empty packets on baby wipes, then please send them my way!

Many thanks,

Miss Cook

Autumn leaves everywhere!

As part of our topic is Autumn, we have incorporated lots of leafy activities into our classroom! We have used them in maths - finding leaves that are the same as a certain number, 1 more and 1 less; have asked questions in welsh using leaf colours; have looked at some Autumn books and written descriptive sentences about leaves onto paper leaves for our display! More activities are happening this week, so keep your eye on our blog!













What happened to our classroom yesterday?!







































Our classroom was full of leaves after break, due to a squirrel who came in...she left a message on the board, a gold envelope with a message inside and a message on the iPad! Find out why the squirrel visited us later in the week! :)
