The Green Go-Karts have had a wonderful few weeks in their new class. They have made some lovely friends and are getting ready to go on a desert adventure as we start our new topic “Adventures in the U.A.E”. It is all hands-on in FS1, painting our feet, painting on the tables, having a taste of Mrs. Carolin’s special magic paint and having a great time playing with crazy snow. You will have to pop back soon to catch us in action. Here are a few photographs from our first weeks at school.

Thinking of a game and giving instructions of how to play it

Designing our own superstructure

We have been learning about buildings in the U.A.E. We talked about a skyline and used magazines to cut out shapes to make our own Dubai skyline. We had great fun!

We had to be very careful when choosing pages and even more careful when cutting out our pictures

In science we have been looking at plants and animals in our local environment. We made a great big list of all the ones we knew. Then we went outside the school to look at palm trees and periwinkle plants.

We have been learning about adjectives in literacy and when we went outside to look at the palm tree and the periwinkle, we thought about different adjectives which we could use to describe them. We had to touch the plants, look at the plants and even smell the plants. We thought of super describing words!

We have been practicing our sounds so that we can use these to help us in our reading and our writing.

A getting to know each other activity. The students had to work together to get into height order.
