6 Orwell also in the Christmas spirit!

 We have used all our creativity to create our amazing Christmas tree decorations 






Christmas Tree Baubles by 6 Newton

 This week we got some Christmas Tree wooden baubles to decorate. These will be hung on the tree at Chigwell Hall and displayed at the Christmas market on Sunday 7th December (see poster below). We were really pleased with how they turned out and hope you'll agree they would brighten up any Christmas tree! 🌲

Maths in 4 Ennis

 This week the children have continued to learn about their tables. They have all worked really hard and have learned so much. Here are some examples of their work. 







Christmas tree craft activity

 This week, we took a little time out to decorate baubles for the Christmas tree in Chigwell. The children could colour, paint and glitter their baubles. They are going to be hung on the tree in Chigwell. Here are a few of their designs. 




My daddy is a pretzel

 For our PE sessions, we have been reading the story, My Daddy is a Pretzel, by Baron Baptiste.

In the book we learnt how to do yoga poses, such as The Tree, The Dog, The Triangle and The Airplane.





Our yoga lessons have supported the children with their listening and understanding, balance, flexibility and perseverance.


Making shapes in Year 2

 







Year 2 today experimented with making shapes with cocktail sticks in pairs, before drawing them out on paper independently, really focussing on using a ruler for straight lines.

Nursery - Tap a Shape

In nursery, we have been learning about shapes and shape matching. Children have been using the Tap a Shape resources to make colourful shape pictures. This activity develops fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and tool use, while also fostering creativity and shape recognition.
