McKee class assembly

Today, McKee class held our second assembly. The children wanted to share their learning about weather and about books. We also showed some of the photographs of the children playing and learning when it snowed and we introduced "our" penguin to the school. Each group chose one of the books that we have read in class. The four books chosen were:-

• The Emperor's Egg by Martin Jenkins
• Peace at Last by Jill Murphy
• The Wind Blew by Pat Hutchins
• Noah's Ark by Lucy Cousins

Every child wrote their own sentence (or two) to say about the book and then learnt it. Many parents commented  on how lovely it was to hear the narration in their own child's style!

We also shared some of the art work which the children have produced to go with each book.The class also performed some of the weather songs they have learnt this term.

• Incy wincy spider
• Pray open your umbrella
• I hear thunder
• The wise man
• Mr Noah built an Ark

We ended with a few thank you prayers for God. Afterwards we were delighted to welcome so many parents, grandparents and baby brothers to our phonic lesson and then our Child Initiated Learning session.
