Foundation Stage
The Aliens are Coming
Last term Holly and Oak classes were invaded by aliens. We arrived early one Monday morning to find parts of Ziggy’s space ship lying around our rooms. We thought of ways to repair the rocket and get him back home. However this was not the end of the story! We then discovered two alien eggs in school. We talked about what might be inside the eggs and designed our own aliens.
We then made them out of plasticine but still the eggs did not hatch.
We had a visit from “The Explorer Dome” too, which was very exciting. We found out lots of interesting facts about space and the planets and stars.
We have also been learning about Chinese New Year. We have been celebrating the Year of the Dragon. We found out about this festival and how it is celebrated.
We read the story about how the animals had a race for the Emperor. We ordered the animals using ordinal numbers.
We made Chinese lanterns and made our own good luck messages using Chinese script and sent our own red envelopes.
We read the Nian story and wrote sentences about how we would scare away the monster.
We made moving dragon puppets and performed our own dragon dance in PE.
We enjoyed Chinese music and food at our Chinese New Year party. We made moon cakes. They were delicious!
