Hello everyone,
Last week we had a fantastic World Book Week. On Monday morning we went to the school assembly to meet the author David Soleman. He read us a story and we watched him open the new school library. We also started to make our own story books up. this are on display in the classroom and we will be continuing our own books this week.  We went to the library in the afternoon and listened to the story Ellis bought in from home. On Tuesday it was Pancake Day. We had pancakes for snack with our favourite topping. We all loved our pancakes. We listened to the story of Mr Wolf's Pancakes. We had a go at painting our own pancakes and cutting out our favourite toppings and sticking them on our pancake. Some fantastic scissors skills. We helped Julia make the pancake mixture and learnt how to make a pancake. Our Pancake Day photos and work are up on display. In the afternoon we had great fun having pancake races outside. We used the maths language of 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
On Wednesday and Thursday we went to Dorchester library. We had a tour around the library and Mary talked about all the different things you can do at the library. We looked out of the windows on the top level and we could see lots of Dorchester. Mary read us a story and we sang some songs. We also choose a book each to bring back to Pre-school. These are in our book corner. We all enjoyed our ride on the bus.
On Thursday it was World Book Day and we all dressed up as our favourite book character. We drew a picture of ourselves in our costumes and told Julia who we had dressed up as and why we choose that character. These are up on display in the classroom. On Thursday afternoon we had an author come to visit us and read her story. We did some fantastic listening.
On Friday a small group of children went to watch Year1 class assembly at school. It was all about space.  On Friday afternoon we played Bingo.
It has been lovely to share the children's favourite stories this week. If your child hasn't bought their favourite book in yet, they can this week.

This week we have got a very exciting week. We will continue with making our own story books. On Tuesday we will be starting the process of hatching our own chicken eggs. Throughout the week we will be doing lot's of gardening and activities  about Spring. This week it is World Maths week so we will be doing lots of exploring and fun maths.
On Friday it is Red Nose Day.
