Today we celebrated Children in Need. We discussed why we are celebrating and how different people celebrate. 

The children loved coming to school in yellow, spotty clothes! We loved creating masks, cutting, tracing and taking part in Pudsey activities!

Today we took part in a minutes silence to show our respect to remembrance day. We discussed using the Cbeebies video what remembrance day is and why we dedicate a day to remember.

The children showed great respect and understanding of the story we shared. We discussed the emotions through…

We created leaf rubbings using leaves from our environment and wax crayons. We discussed what colours the leaves of deciduous trees change to in autumn and chose appropriate colours to complete our art. 

In PE the children are beginning to understand we take part in PE to stay healthy and they are developing an understanding of what 'healthy' means. We love completing our warm up first and learning new stretches/moves. We recapped the lesson with different ways of moving while listening to 'Lets…

We have been working very hard on our pencil grips and finding out how to get the best control of the pencil. We all have a dominate hand and Miss Mayer modelled how to hold the pencil correctly. We then practised tracing over different lines with increasing control.

We used the felt tips and…
