Prizes for students!

Hello Friends,

The children at Ward Green School have a new rewards scheme. Every week they must follow the rules to earn a sticker. If they earn 8 stickers before the holidays, they can be entered into a prize giveaway!

My friends are happy because they have earned their sticker!

They came to school every day. 
They arrived on time.
They were well behaved.
They had correct school uniform.

Pyrography

Hello friends,

Today one of the teaching assistants in school demonstrated how to decorate wood using pyrography. 

Pyrography is the art of decorating wood or other materials with burn marks. It is also known as pokerwork or wood burning.

Mrs Thomason was making gifts for the Romanian hosts.

Don't the owls look wonderful. I am sure our friends in Romania will enjoy them!

Much love from Van Cat xxx

Folk Festival

Hello my friends around Europe,

This weekend I went to a special event in Yorkshire. It is called the Holmfirth Folk Festival. Many dancers and musicians travel to Yorkshire so they can perform.

Here are some of the 'Morris' dancers we saw. They use the sticks in their dances by hitting them together!

This Morris dancer was bit of a joker. He danced between the other dancers while they waved their sticks in the air. I thought he would get hurt! 

These morris dancers came all the way from Canada! Their costumes were covered in rags.

Here I am, having a go at Morris dancing. The dancers had ribbons just like mine!

I'll be seeing you all soon in Romania. Only 3 more sleeps until then!     Love from Van Cat xxx

Billy the horse!

Hello my friends around Europe.

This weekend I am visiting my friend's house.  She lives in a house behind a farm and the horse comes to visit every day. Here I am feeding an apple to 'Billy'! Billy ran all the way across the field when we shouted his name.

I'll let you know what I get up to this weekend!

Van Cat swimming

Hello my European friends,

I enjoyed my day out at the swimming pool. The children visit the pool every Friday so they can learn how to swim!

Unfortunately, I fell into the pool and now my fur is a little bit soggy! 

 Lots of love Van Cat x

Breakfast club

Hello my friends around Europe,

I am missing  you all so much. I can't wait to see some of the children and teachers in Romania.

Today, I visited the school breakfast club.

The National Lottery gave school some money to set up a breakfast club. About 60 children come every day.

Here are some of my friends eating their toast with Nutella.

They do lots of fun activities. I played on some of the Ipads with the boys.

The girls were embroidering and asked me to have a go. I couldn't hold the needle so I decided to chase the thread. It was so much fun.

They even had some fun floor games to play!

Soon it was time to go to our classroom. My class is taking me to swimming lessons this morning. We have to travel on a coach to the pool. 

I'll let you know how I get on later.

I hope my tail doesn't get wet!

We have been on a trip to Shibden Hall.  We met Cinderella and the Fairy Godmother.  We got to help Cinderella get ready for the ball.  Magic!
