Birthday fun

Who wants to work when its the teachers birthday? We have really worked so hard this term - so I decided a fun day was definitely a good idea for us all!

We started off by playing pass the parcel - each layer and a bonds sum to solve - the answer was a clue to a letter that eventually made a sentence.

Next it was Balloon Bingo, which we played with Miss Caddicks class. This was so much fun. Each child got to blow up a balloon, they were grouped and then chose a word from their spelling lists. The words we put into a hat, as I called them out, the balloon was popped. The first group to pop all their balloons were the winners!

Next....making crumpets. Each group had the opportunity to come and make their own. The others did a word-search where they searched for words related to me, as well as a maths puzzle, that ended up making a birthday picture.

Lastly, we read the next chapter of Pim where he gets into trouble for telling his mom a whopper! Each child had to tell us three things about themselves or their family - two had to be the truth and one a whopper! Well...it turns out that some of them were very clever at telling 'untruths' and really tricked us!!

It was such a fun day, and a lovely way to spend a birthday!

Thanks again to you wonderful parents for spoiling me...I really appreciate it very much.
