This morning some children had heard that snow was on its way. This morning the children went outside in their wetsuits and wellies to see if it was snowing but it was just rain and sleet and this did not stop us from exploring! The children loved jumping in muddy puddles and making their splashes bigger and bigger! 

This afternoon it wasn't raining, it was snowing! The children were so excited to be out in the snow. We had lots of fun painting in the snow and making different sized snow people. Before we went inside we had a snowball fight! It was snow much fun! 

This week we have been learning that some people around the world celebrate Chinese New Year, as part of our British Values, we understand that some people celebrate the same things and some people do not celebrate the same things and that is okay. 

We had a big discussion around foods that we eat when we celebrate or spend time with our families. Some of our children like ordering food on a Friday night with their families, some enjoy having a roast dinner at a relatives, some have cake and candles and some children have pizza parties! We talked about different foods that people eat all around the world - the children found that some foods are the same as they enjoy and there were others that our children were less familiar with. 

Today, the children helped prepare and make a stir fry for everyone to try. The children carefully chopped the vegetables before the stir fry was cooked. All the children had a taste of the stir fry and lots of children really liked eating the noodles and vegetables. 

What an amazing day we have had dressing up as Rock Stars in aid of raising money for NSPCC. The children looked fantastic! Throughout the day we have listened to different types of music, including rock music. The children really enjoyed expressing themselves and sharing their dance moves!
