Jungle theme week 3

Hello again,

This week we welcomed a new friend to the class. Miss Mut has settled in really well and has been quick to join in laughing and playing with her classmates. Everyone was very helpful in welcoming her to the class and Grandae did a great job of being her special friend :)

Unfortunately we say goodbye to our lovely Fabien this week too. We will miss him very much and the class  will not be the same without his cheeky grin and lively chatter. We wish him lots of love and laughter at his new school and hope to see him again soon. 

We rounded off our Jungle theme with some lovely lions and grinning hippos. The class have been really enjoying working on our giant jungle map, so we added some animal cut outs to decorate and add to the map with sticky-tack (everyone wants an excuse to get their hands on  my sticky-tack!) 

Giving hippos teeth was a bit tricky... 

                 Drawing the faces for our cheeky chimps!

We also talked about how some animals are brightly coloured to warn others they are poisonous and others can change colour by themselves. We had fun learning about camouflage with our colourful chameleons and the class were great at finding hiding places for all the different colours!

 We made some fantastic green eyed tree frogs and learnt a little about the life cycle of frogs. Even after watching a short video on them  some of the class were still not convinced that the tadpoles we looked at really were baby frogs!

Coincidentally, We also had our very own class frog!

                 Lots of free play pictures this week, Enjoy!
