Reception had lots of fun making Gruffalo pizzas this week. We made the pizza dough by mixing flour, yeast, salt and warm water together. Next we kneaded the dough till it was soft and smooth and then we rolled the dough out to make a round flat pizza shape. We carefully used the knife to cut different vegetables for his features.
We used tomatoes for his orange eyes, peppers for his terrible teeth, a mushroom for his nose and a pea for his poisonous wart at the end of his nose.

We have been having lots of fun in Santa's Workshop. We pretended we were Santa’s little helpers. We chose a present from the shelf and unrolled the wrapping paper. We carefully cut the wrapping paper with the scissors and then used the tape to wrap the presents. When we had finished we put the presents into the sack for Santa to take back to the North Pole.

As part of our Stones 'n' Bones history topic, we were visited today by someone all the way from the Stone Age! Lucy told us all about what life was like for her thousands of years ago and showed us different artefacts from her time. We experimented with bones to see what tools we would have made with them, made our very own flint arrows, drew delightful cave paintings and then hunted animals with a bow and arrow! What superb shots we had!

How interesting it was!
