Christmas is here!!!

We know Christmas has arrived at HPS when Mrs Savidan decorates the office and the staffroom! This year she had a very special surprise for us all - a giant Santa for the front entrance! Room 14 loves him and had a good look at all the beautiful decorations in the office area - feel free to come up and have a look before next Thursday as Mrs Savidan has really made everything look fantastic.

Christmas Decorations

Christmas decorations

The class are sharing their favourite Christmas ornament, decoration, or item that is special to them. We hope you enjoy these Fotobabbles about them!

Butterfly hatches

Today our butterfly finally hatched from its chrysalis! We have watched the whole life cycle of the our butterfly from a tiny white egg, to a tiny caterpillar we could hardly see, to a huge fat caterpillar who ate all day, to a chrysalis, and now to a beautiful butterfly. We will hopefully see out butterfly lay eggs on our swan plant and the whole life cycle will start again!

Monkey Bars

Our poem this week is Monkey Bars and the children noticed all the 'doing words' in it, so after we had read it we went outside and they showed me all the things they could do on the Monkey Bars. Some of them are very brave!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! First up we made Pumpkin Pies - thanks to Mrs Jones for buying the right sort of pumpkin from the American shop! The pies were fun to make and while we waited for them to cook we read a story called 'A Turkey for Thanksgiving' about how Mr and Mrs Moose want to have a turkey for their Thanksgiving meal - but not to eat him, just so that he can share in their lovely meal! The children enjoyed it, and we were then able to get the pies out of the oven and smell the spicy cinnamon and ginger we had put in. We sat in a circle and before we ate we went around and said one thing we were thankful for. The pies were delicious!
