Christmas Time!

This term has been outstanding! We have held a WW2 cafe that ended our amazing topic, where we made our own cakes. There were carrot cookies, gingerbread cake, vineger cake, dripping cake, mini apple and cinnamon pies and rock buns. We set up the cafe in a WW2 style and had people dressed up as waiters and waitesses and some as customers, along with our parents and teachers.

We have also been making some authentic WW2 Christmas presents. We decorated wooden blocks and had to sand the blocks and then put a primer on it. When the primer was dry we painted them and then varnished them.  They were lovely and colourful. Instead of doing blocks other people did sewing, people did the blanket stitch. Some people made pillows, christmas tree decorations and bunting.

On the 17th and 18th of December children got to participate in te Newbridge Christmas Concert. Year 6 played a piece of music called Pachelbel's Canon and it was brilliant! Blues band, orchestra, recoders, brass group and of coures the choir all took part in the wonderful event. Blues band played Billie Jean and Alfie L did a solo, it was magnificent!

Year 6 are really looking forward to watching Cinderella at the pantomime at the Theatre Royal this afternoon. We will be telling all about it next year.
