The pupils in the Sungazers set up their own class cafe this term with a Farm to Fork twist as part of our theme. We added some freshly prepared snacks to the menu using farm fresh produce. Each week, the pupils have taken on different roles to ensure the cafe runs smoothly. Here are some photos of our responsible citizens fulfilling their roles:
The Transition class took some time out from their busy week to reflect on their first term of 2021-2022. They were all Effective Contributors sharing their views clearly and confidently. Well done everyone!
This week we learned about the history of fireworks and Guy Fawkes during assembly and then enjoyed being successful learners working on our fine motor skills to create some firework artwork.
We were effective contributors when we participated in our music lesson. We were working on our rhythm and playing all together in time to the music.

This week the Snowdrops have been learning about Diwali – The Festival of Lights, and made beautiful Diva Lamps from clay. We then painted them and sprinkled them with glitter. We also looked at Rangoli patterns and made our own from different shapes.
The Transition class spent an afternoon making spooky treats. We used food colouring to make green, orange and black icing. Each pupil chose either a pumpkin or a spider and drew it in icing. We added decoration before scoffing the lot!

Have a super weekend everyone!
The Transition class had the opportunity for a dance class this week and they tried lots of different things. They were all Effective Contributors and tried their best at everything. We all liked the light up swinging balls. They made good effects in the dark!
Global Goal 3
Good Health and Wellbeing
We are really lucky to have our sensory garden to explore and complete garden walks. We are then able to enjoy some healthy exercise and get some fresh air during the school day. We have also been exploring some healthy foods and using pictures to create a healthy and unhealthy lunch box. It was great fun. We also made posters to put in in the classroom to show how we can be healthy.

This term, the Snowdrops have been discussing what make a good friend. They enjoy identifying their class friends through photographs and written names labels. During choosing times, pupils are given the opportunity to choose a friend to play with and enjoy an activity together. This has encouraged good friendship skills such as sharing and turn taking.
We have also made lovely posters with pictures of what makes a good friend.
