Today we had the Hagley Theatre Group come to school and perform the play Aladdin. It was great fun and we all had lots of laughs. We especially loved the way that the genie danced!

At the end of the day on Friday we played some games. One was called Bump and the other Flush. They were great fun but we were so puffed at the end we had to lie on the grass like a starfish to catch our breath!

We have been doing some fantastic art in class! Miss Smith traced around the shadow of our heads on the overhead projector. Then we had to draw or use magazines to find pictures of things that we love and that represent us. There is a catch to this though........ there are no names on the portraits! Come into class and see if you can guess who is who!

What a lovely first day we have had getting to know each other!
