Autumn Term 2, Week 2
This week we have been leading with empathy and love and as we lead the school in a Remembrance Assembly with Y6, sharing the poems we wrote together, poppy wreaths we made and the a song. Our empathetic outlook continued across the week with Anti-Bullying Week, recognising the importance of using 'Our Power of Good' to be kind and act with love at the centre of our actions.
As part of our topic, this week we had lots of learning opportunities around Remembrance, making poppies on our peg boards and on our tinkering table for our fine motor skills.
In maths we have been resilient exploring not enough, equal, and not enough when counting out amounts to 4 and 5, as well as looking at objects and deciding if they are heavier than or lighter than.
Literacy we have continued our Talk Through Stories of Stick Man, considering how we might solve the problem in our Pen Power books, as well as using our high expectations in our phonics, working hard to use our phonic knowledge to wrote labels for pictures.
This week for RE we created maps of the long journey Mary and Joseph took from Nazareth to Bethlehem, and empathetically shared our thoughts of what that journey might have felt like, and the faith Mary and Joseph showed to God.
Autumn Term 2, Week 1
What a super week back we have had focusing our learning around Fireworks night, learning about Guy Fawkes and looking at the way we celebrate Bonfire Night – we confidently created firework paintings, and made our own paint in outdoor learning.
Our REACH values were shining through during our visit from Sian Hughes – a real life author who shared her new book, and told us lots about the life of a writer. We really enjoyed seeing her book come to life with her incredible props. Thank you Mrs Knight for organising us such a super visitor.
We worked with our buddies writing an empathetic poem for Remembrance assembly next week and enjoyed hearing the message from Father Phillip in Mass, hearing about the bible – it is a book of books.
We had another visitor – a local Councillor in a special Eco assembly followed by our Eco inspired REACH activity of Leaf Crowns – thank you Mrs Piper for organising a fun session for us.
We have had such fun returning to school this week after half term, confidently digging in the ‘big dig’ area and resiliently riding our balance bikes.
