Music Week

 

 

The children at Lewannick Pre-school wanted to have a ‘music corner’ so we decided to have a ‘Music Week’ (which turned in two weeks!)

Mr Harrison, Lewannick School’s Music teacher, brought his trombone in to play to us.  He also brought some children’s trombones in so that we could play ourselves.

We composed our own music and Mr Harrison used our keyboard to play our pieces.  He read the music notes that we had made.

We made our own musical instruments with pots, dry rice and lentils.  We decorated them with stickers and shook them while we sang “I am The Music Man”.

Our Vegetable Patch

We were very lucky to have had a visit from Shelley and Belinda from the Launceston Tesco Store yesterday.  They brought with them some bags of compost and lots of vegetable seeds so that we can grow our own vegetables.

Here we are with our compost and seeds, ready to get planting!

Our Builders’ Yard – 10th March 2016

Our Builders’ Yard

 

100_2175

We started off with a pile of bricks and worked together to build a wall!

 

100_2180

We all worked as a team to build a wall with bricks and ‘cement’.

100_2187

It was hard work lifting the bricks across our building yard!

100_2185

We used trowels and spades to dig the sand to make our ‘cement’ for our wall.

100_2179

We carefully smoothed out the ‘cement’ to build up the wall bricks.

We were very pleased with our wall building!

We moved the sand from the sand-pit to the cement mixer using wheelbarrows.

We all worked very hard together!

Pancake Day!

We celebrated Shrove Tuesday by making and eating pancakes!

We all mixed flour, eggs and milk to make some pancake mix and then we tasted them with lemon juice, jam, strawberries or bananas when they were cooked.  They tasted delicious!

Chinese New Year

We celebrated Chinese New Year by tasting some Chinese food and looking at Chinese writing.  We used ink to try to write some Chinese letters and danced with ribbons, making shapes in the air.
