That was difficult! Phew

Yesterday children were folding BIG sheets of tissue paper to make the Truffula Tree tufts, when Sofia sighs and says: "That was difficult!"
"It is difficult to fold those sheets, but you tried and you did it. If you try you can do...", I was interrupted by Rodrigo: "ANYTHING."

Yes it is so true:
If you try, you can do anything!

Castles and Dragons

This was a time to think about Princes and Princesses.
These are some tasks we worked on:

We wrote our own stories


















We drew some castles using Paint














Reception Bears developed Mathematics and Fine Motor skills in weaving these beautiful castles.












A big thank you to João's Mummy for putting the cushions together. 












Please enjoy the culmination of our project:

José Pedro's number search



Sweet and Musical

On Saturday Ted surprised us with a raspberry cake for Mum's birthday.



















On Sunday we went to Casa da Música to attend the Viva Vivaldi show.
We were amazed for we had never seen such radiant beauty before.
Then we blinked and saw ******!

We had a wonderful time!

Did anyone else go to see the show?

Never too late to continue to celebrate

Yesterday we had an orange cake to celebrate
another girl turning 6. Happy Birthday.












Who is going to be 6 next? A boy or a girl?

Fun with Smarties leads to number stories

What can we do with a box of 'Smarties'?
Sort them!
Then we can count them!
After counting, add the sets together.
After all the hard work we can do the inevitable - we can eat them!
It was all fun and games. Now we can do all these sums!
Well done!
