Christmas Joy

Room 12 were in charge of shopping for the famous St. Clare's Christmas Hamper Raffle. We had breakfast first in a restaurant and then went to Tesco. We had shopping lists to follow and it was so much fun. We took a bus back to school and wrapped up the hampers ready for the lucky winners. Santa dropped in to our class to say well done.

Working hard at maths

We worked hard at maths today! Here are the pictures to prove it!

How to make a paperclip float like a boat!

We did a science experiment where we learned about a skin on the top of water that bugs can float on. It is called surface tension. Here are some pictures of a paper clip floating! 

Look at these pictures of pretty shadows! Emily discovered how to do this with light and one of our sensory toys!

Room 12 Superheroes!

Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays! We're back in Room 12 for lots of fun times with our friends and to work hard!! 

Welcome back to all our wonderful friends in Room 12 and St. Clare's!!

The Runaway Gingerbread Man

Down in the kitchen, while we were busy baking, one of our gingerbread men escaped! His name was Brownie! Ms. Leonard noticed he had disappeared from the baking tray. We were all shocked! We were very sad about it because we couldn't find him anywhere. 

When we got back to class, there was flour all over our classroom floor. Mr. Bracken was with us and we all spotted the gingerbread man on the floor with flour all around him. 

Mr. Bracken tried to pick Brownie up but the gingerbread man moved!! He caught Brownie and then Ms. Leonard helped to put the gingerbread man in a box! His head came off! Poor Brownie! Thanks to Mr. Bracken and Ms. Leonard for helping to save the day! If any more gingerbread men have escaped and run into your class, let us know, we know what to do!!

Gingerbread Men

Today in Room 12, we got to bake in the kitchen. We made Gingerbread Men. Some of the ingredients are ginger, cinnamon, butter, lots of sugar and syrup, flour and bread soda. Did you smell the baking from your classroom? They smell delicious!!

Working on our movement skills

We are very lucky in Room 12 because Siobhan and Claire came in to do movement workshops with us. It was so much fun. Thank you Siobhan and Claire!
