I hope that you all had a relaxing half term holiday, it certainly sounds like all of the children in Pearl Class have been busy!
This half term our topic is 'Different Places, Different Lives' and we have decided in Pearl Class to focus on Australia. We will be reading different Australian stories including 'The Lamb-a-roo' by Diana Kimpton, 'Possum Magic' by Mem Fox and 'Josephine Wants To Dance' by Jackie French..
We will be looking at Australian money, creating our own Aboriginal dot art pictures, making Anzac biscuits and Lamingtons and learning some fun Australian songs!
The children have also shown an interest in finding out about Pakistan and China!

We have also designed, made and eaten sandwiches and pizzas in class and enjoyed using our role play area which has been set up as a 'Vintage Cafe' and Indian restaurant and an Italian restaurant!
To finish our topic work off for this half term we turned our class room into a 'Cafe' and served sandwiches and cups of tea!

Autumn 2
Last half term our topic was ‘Over The Rainbow’ and so we decided to focus on the story ‘The Wizard of Oz’ and had great fun writing character profiles, designing magic shoes, making tin men and the Emerald City and sharing the story with each other. At the end of the term we had a treat and watched the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse version of the story – ‘The Wizard of Dizz!’
