Excitement has been building in Darling Class ahead of the King's Coronation.

We have been building palaces, both big and small...

A safe for the crown jewels, complete with a secret compartment chair for King Charles to store his food in...

Making coronation crown biscuits with our buddies...

Hand printing Union Jack flags...

Proudly showing off our wonderful crown creations...

Taking part in a coronation re-enactment...

Coronation Sports...

And a special coronation dance...

We have spent a wonderful afternoon taking part in activities around the traditional tale 'Jack and the Beanstalk', with our grown-ups.

We got our funky fingers moving, shelling peas and then using tweezers to put the correct amount in each cup case...

We retold the story of Jack and the Beanstalk with our grown-ups, using story props...

We had fun creating masks for the characters in the story...

We shared the alternative version of the story that we had written...

 We made towers and ladders as tall as the beanstalk...

We took on the challenge to construct a safety harness to stop the egg from cracking as it rolled down the drainpipe...

We reused newspaper to make plant pots and planted seeds to take home...

We sequenced words to make sentences and checked that they made sense before writing them ...

We took our grown-up to the shoe shop...

And of course we shared some stories...

Thank you so much for coming.

Darling Class would like to say a huge thank you to all the families for coming into school to share a special Dinosaur Date with the children.

The children had been very excited writing their invitations and were so pleased to be able to share some of what we have been doing this term with you, including their song, fossils and dinosaurs junk modelling.

Most of all they loved creating their dinosaur inspired snack and sharing a dinosaur story (or two, or three...!) with you.
