Our week in Caradoc

We have had a wonderful, festive week in Caradoc. Christmas dinner was a super occasion, the children(and staff) enjoyed a lovely Christmas dinner, pulling crackers and telling jokes together whilst wearing their Christmas jumpers. The Christmas Fayre was a great success and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The children have still been working hard in class, practising their times tables in Maths and finding out about the author Roald Dahl in English lessons. We are all very excited about taking part in the ‘Polar Express’ dash on Monday. Please make sure that your child wears suitable footwear and warm pyjamas/dressing gowns for this.

Our week in Caradoc

We have had a fantastic week this week finding out about the artist Kandinsky. The children have loved researching facts about the artist’s life and achievements, creating detailed biographies. They have also been learning about colour mixing and have used these skills to create colourful images in the style of Kandinsky. They have also been busy making crafts for our Christmas fair which they are all very proud of.

Our week in Caradoc

We have had another fantastic week in Caradoc! The children have really enjoyed our ‘potions’ topic work. We have completed our writing unit on instructions by creating a recipe for a marvellous Medicine on Purple Mash. They have been very enthusiastic about our  author study on Roald Dahl, finding out lots of interesting facts about the author. The class have been exploring different states of mater, handling and observing balloons filled with ice, water and air. We are continuing our work on addition and subtraction in Maths. Next week is ‘Arts Week’ and we will be focusing on the artist Kandinsky. Have a lovely weekend and thank you all for your continued support.
