What a wonderful time at our class Christmas Party!

The criteria was…

In 1st place was Oliver, Remie, Noah and Arran!

We wanted to share some of our fantastic work currently displayed in our classroom and corridor.  We are so proud of it!  What do you think?

We have been reading ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’ By Roald Dahl.  We created the farmers using lots of different materials and we wrote character descriptions.

We created these beautiful pumpkins using fine black pens to create line patterns, we then added autumnal colours.

On Friday 3rd November we went to Heathhall Forest with Briony from Sustrans.  We had a lovely morning in the Autumn sunshine!

We had to collect lots of different leaves, then we tried to organise them by size and type.  We also looked at the different leaves and worked out what trees they came from.

We were also lucky enough to see a white horse going for a walk through the forest!

The class also created a healthy and nutritious wrap for the school lunch menu.   To celebrate the end of this block, we prepared and ate wraps for snack.

  Impressive cutting and chopping skills!

As a class we worked together to talk about our Rights and Responsibilities.  We looked at the UNRC articles and discussed what we felt was most important in our classroom.
