• Terrifying Tuesday in Venus!

  Fri 23 Oct 2020

  It was a terrifying Tuesday in Venus when the class was filled with all kinds of spooky monsters. Fortunately, they were all friendly! We have enjoyed reading The Witches this half term and this week we have written missing posters, book reviews and our own formulas to turn The Witches into something new. In the woods, we collected items to put in our formula and gave them magical names and powers.

  

• Spooky Potions!

  Fri 23 Oct 2020
  Mars explored mixing colours through spooky potion making on Tuesday. There were eyes, fingers, spiders and bats all added to our cauldron! Ask us about all of the different colours we made!

  

• Caribbean vibes!

  Fri 23 Oct 2020

  Mercury have been celebrating the fabulous Carnival-traditions of Trinidad by making their own headdresses, baking Trini sponge cake, tasting rotis and tropical fruits, listening to Calypso music and competing in their own limbo contest. What a fabulous end to a fabulous half term! Mrs Erskine is very proud of their positive attitudes since returning to school and is looking forward to more of the same after the half term break.

  

• Halloween fun!

  Fri 23 Oct 2020

  The usual children in Jupiter were replaced by witches, skeletons, pumpkins, Dracula and more scary characters on Tuesday. We enjoyed some ‘Monster moves’, decorated pumpkin pictures and made Halloween decorations for the classroom.

  

• Pumpkin Soup

  Fri 23 Oct 2020

  Today, children in Mars made pumpkin soup! We cut up the pumpkins and onions very carefully and were super at following instructions. We also made our own bread buns to dip in to our soup! It smelled and tasted delicious!

• Spectacularly Spooky!

  Tue 20 Oct 2020
  What a spectacularly spooky day we have had! Monsters, ghosts and ghouls have taken over Washingwell! Our monstrous munch at the ‘Spooky Spectacular Diner’ was delicious – thank you to Mrs McCubbin and Miss Hall (our kitchen staff team) for making it so special for us! We found pumpkins on our burgers, worms in our jelly and spiders on our cakes!

• Creative Venus!

  Fri 16 Oct 2020

  Venus have been writing and performing their own autumn poems. We have also enjoyed making beautiful collage and origami leaves.

  

• Wanted: Goldilocks!

  Fri 16 Oct 2020

  This week in Jupiter we have been reading the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We thought of some adjectives to describe the characters in the story. Everyone agreed that Goldilocks is a naughty character as she went into a house that didn’t belong to her, ate all Baby Bear’s porridge and broke his chair! We created a ‘WANTED’ poster that the Three Bears could put in the woods to try find out who the girl in their house was.
