Christmas Stories

Owls and Otters have been writing Christmas stories over the last 2 weeks.  This afternoon we went round the school and read them to small groups of children.  Pupils from all classes loved listening to different dilemmas that Father Christmas has had to cope with and Year 5 and 6 enjoyed having an appreciative audience.

Victorian sampler cross stitching

To finish our Victorian topic we have been cross stitching in class. Check out some of our work below.

Christmas Puddings

Practical maths in English today!

Owls and Otters made Christmas puddings. We had to weigh, measure, chop and grate different ingredients before stirring everything up.  Then we made Christmas wish.

The puddings were covered with greased proof paper and tin foil before going into the steamer.

Thank you Mrs Owen for letting us use the kitchen steamer.

We can't wait to try our puddings on Christmas Day.

Here are some of the super Christmas decorations Mr Santy's class made during decoration afternoon.

Victorian Samplers

We had a lovely afternoon doing cross stitch for our Victorian samplers.

Thank you to Mrs Cobb for coming to share her expertise and getting us started.
