To encourage everyone to speak in front of the class, each team have been allocated a week when we would like them to bring something from home to talk about. This avoids the children having to sit while all the class have a go. If it is not your child’s week but they have something special to show we can still fit them in.
Ladybirds this week – beginning 1/3/10
Butterflies – beginning 8/3/10
Grasshoppers – beginning 15/03/10
Wasps – beginning 22/03/10
If you forget we will remind the children in school, they do not all have to be ready on the Monday. This activity is meant to encourage slow and clear speaking in front of an audience, and some children might benefit from a little practice at home so that they feel more confident in front of the class.

We dressed up each team as a Chinese Dragon and another team made music to a steady beat for the dragon to dance to.
It was not easy for the teams to keep together under their costume and the leaders had to move slowly and steadily.
Here are some photographs of the dragons and the music makers, as well as some of the whole class being fireworks and fire crackers to Chinese music.
After that we all lay down, to think about how we like to celebrate our special days with food, clothes and dancing.

We explored Chinese New Year in lots of different ways. We saw a DVD about how Chinese children celebrate their New Year and read the story of the Chinese Zodiac. We also enjoyed dressing up and trying Chinese foods. We made lucky Chinese envelopes and had a go at Chinese style writing.

The Key Stage 1 children all enjoyed the Christingle celebration today, the hall was full! Year 6 buddies were also invited as this will be their last Christingle at school. As usual it was a lovely occasion and the children sung their songs beautifully, year 1 and 2 sang in French as well. Father Graham got the children to tell him the meaning of their Christingle oranges and they remembered very well. Here are some pictures of Kites children with their Christingles which give you some idea of the lovely atmosphere.
