The Aternoon's dragon Dance

The afternoon Rising Fives performed their dragon dance for their Mums. We think some frightened Mums went home on Friday!

A few more pictures of morning group.

Morning R'Fives Chinese New Year

The morning group of Rising Fives were Chinese people for the morning . They dressed up in traditional Chinese costumes, ate noodles with chop sticks and did a lion and a dragon dance to celebrate Chinese New Year,

A dispute over the tunnel on the train track brought the timers into action. However instead of these two boys playing until their time ran out they became engrossed in watching the three timers flow through and guessing which would be fastest and slowest. 1

Out came the 'Gloop ' today.  Lots of fun was had by all those brave enough to touch the rather strange stuff!!!

The afternoon group are so good at writing in Chinese and at eating with chop sticks and at dancing under the dragon that I think they may really be Chinese!

Stop/Go Signs

Today at Rising Fives the morning children made Stop /Go signs. They independantly cut their shapes and wrote their two words. Well done all you!

A parcel arrived today from Mr Morrison.
Your vouchers gave us a new spade, lots of new aprons and a new set of drawers for the outside area.
Many thanks Mums for all those vouchers.

A cold day today!

It was a cold day today (16/1/12)
Our weather boy filled two plaes with water One with hot water and one with cold water. He kept his eyes on them until they froze.
The cold water froze thickly and quickly while the hot water plate .just had a skim of ice over it.
You were a real scientist today weather boy!

These three girls spent several morning (16/1/12) very busily taking lots of yummy food from our kitcheen over to the comfy settee were they had a lovely picnic.

On Friday at Rising Fives we learnt about China.
We dressed in their traditional costumes and eat noodles with chop sticks.
The children were rather good with their chop sticks and  nobody gave up and used their forks (although a few fingers may have been used).
