Australia Day!

Here is a little taste of our Australia Day!

We dressed up, made anzac biscuits, decorated a huge Aboriginal totem pole and finished off the day with smoothies and dancing to Kylie Minogue! A very fun end to a busy half term.

Mmmmm smoothies!

Toasting marshmallows!

What better to do on a rainy, drizzly Monday than light a fire and toast marshmallows! This is one of our 100 Memorable Events, and as you can imagine it was very much enjoyed by the children.

Memorable Event - Read a book then watch a film

Yesterday we ticked off another memorable event in class - reading a book and then watching a film.

We read two Katie Morag stories and then watched each story as an episode from Cbeebies.  We looked for similarities and differences between the book and what we saw on screen and found that sometimes the story changed slightly between the two.

The Isle of Struay on film looks very similar to the illustrations in the book.  We are now using the map of the Isle of Struay as inspiration for our own island design.
