Happy Easter

We had to say goodbye to three of our wonderful otters today and one of our fabulous foxes. They are all leaving Herford to join brand new schools and make lots of lovely new friends. Tully summed up everyone’s feeling when she said ‘’this is a happy and sad day, I don’t want to leave my otters but I’m excited to go to my new house and school.’’ Xander said that he would keep looking at our class blog to see what we have been getting up to.

It may have been the last day of term today but we had a very industrious morning. Erin made her very own ‘afternoon story’ book at home and had brought in to share with her friends. Every afternoon I read a meditation story to the Otters class and Erin had included all of the repetitive language in her own version. ‘’close you eyes and stay very still, imagine you are a…..’’ ‘’wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes, have a big stretch and open your eyes.’’

Lots of the children thought that they would like to make their own version and busily got book making. The hole punch and treasury tags were out again! This seems to be our favourite joining technique at the moment.

We hope that you all enjoy a very restful Easter break and come back ready for our new whole school topic of ‘Deep’. We will be learning through pirates and Peter Pan.

Don’t forget to leave your comments on any blog posts that you read, we enjoy reading them with your children.

Happy Easter
