BREAKFAST AT WOODFORD

We have been learning about breakfast and how important it is. First we tasted porridge with different toppings. Did you tell everyone at home which was your favourite? Then we tried some different cereals and designed our own cereal which we made last week. We also had a French afternoon and tried some food that the French eat for their breakfast or petit dejeuner. We tried croissants, crepes, pain au chocolat and brioche. We drank jus d'orange and chocolat chaud. It was great fun.

Happy Birthday Barnaby!

Today was Barnaby Bear's birthday. He was 6 years old and the children invited their teddy bears to his party. First some children gave Barnaby cards and we played pass the parcel and musical statues. Then we had a birthday cake with six candles. Some children helped Barnaby blow out his candles. After that we ate some party food and finally after assembly we ate birthday cake for a special playtime snack! Everyone had fun and the children wrote a recount about the party. Some of these were included in the newsletter.

Hector and E-Safety

This week the children have met a new friend. His name is Hector and he is a dolphin. He swims on our computer desktops at school. He is there so that when we use the computers and internet if we see something that makes us feel confused or scared we can click on Hector. A big picture of hector swimming in the sea and some calm water music plays and covers the screen completely while you ask an adult for help.


While our internet filter blocks inappropriate material from the children we do use search engines which can show them pictures of things they don’t like or that scare them like spiders or snakes. Hector has been introduced as a way for children to cope with this.
