Book competition

At the beginning of the year we entered a competition all about books (Smarties book prize)
We had to decorate a picture of a penguin from a book we read.
We used glue, glitter, paint, material, pencils and all sorts of collage. It was lots of fun (very messy!). Then we posted them off in a big brown envelope with lots of stamps.

This morning when we came back from assembly we found a big parcel on my chair that had a letter in for us to read and lots of new books for us to look at.
It was so exciting to hear we had won the prize for round 1 of the competition with 50 other schools.

We now have to look at the new books this week and decide which is our favourite one. We will do a mini-topic all about it. Just before Christmas we will send off all the work we have done. Only 1 school can win the next prize so fingers crossed!

Well Done class reception. I knew your pictures were fantastic.

Thank you everyone for having a go on the new blog its so lovely to hear from you.
I'll be thinking of you all at Atlanta and Holly's birthday party at monkeymaze on Saturday!
I hope you have a happy holiday and that you do lots of fun things. I'm very excited as I am going on a barge for my dads birthday for a week. Mrs Gabriel will be busy taking Sebastian on walks and giving him lots of cuddles!
Happy birthday to Thomas and Dannielle too as your birthday's are in the holidays.
Seen as we have so many birthdays at the moment, see how many things you can find at home that begin with a b!
See you soon

If you want to tell me and the class any news or exciting things that you have been doing at home, you can type your comments here. Leah May Johnson has been telling me all about her dancing and that she is going to be in a show soon. You'll have to bring some photos in Leah.
Hope to hear from you all soon.

Can you find something at home that begins with the letter m? This is a tricky one!

Welcome class reception, this is our new special blog that you can look at at home with your family. Its very exciting, you can look at things we have done at school and send me messages and questions. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Can you find something at home that begins with the letter s.
