Ruby Class have had a very busy January!

Lunar New Year

Ruby Class had a wonderful time learning about the Lunar New Year as part of their People and Communities learning.

We made Chinese dragons using recycled materials, dressed up in traditional Chinese dress, practised the Chinese ribbon dance and even got to taste Chinese food. It was definitely a thumbs up from our little learners.

Christening

In September, we welcomed a baby into our home corner. We named him baby Lewis. We learnt all about how to look after a baby and what happens as a baby grows. This half term, we learnt how a baby is welcomed into the Christian faith. We invited Father Jeffery from the local church. Father Jeffery told us all about the special jobs he does at the church and showed us some things we might see if we went to the church. We enjoyed asking him lots of questions.
