First day back after the holidays...

Can I just say Room 12 are the best?  Everyone gets on with each other really well, they're so helpful and kind.....and they always do their best work!  I am so lucky to have such a brilliant class.

A big welcome to Adela who turned 5 in the holidays.  She stayed for the whole day today and already seems really comfortable at school.

Over the next two weeks we are learning about fractions (mainly halves and quarters) so we had a little introduction this morning.  They all had a go at activities like pizza cutting, paper folding and cutting, and various fraction puzzles.

This afternoon we tried a new idea called 'Cafe Writing' (not entirely sure where the name came from) where there are large pieces of paper around the classroom for children to write/draw/practice on.  It is a super activity to practice pencil grip, hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills....plus they had fun!  We're allowed to have fun at school right?
