The Stars Class made ‘spinning’ poppies which we used to embellish a Remembrance poster for the classroom door. We made tasty iced poppy biscuits, split pin poppies as well as stopping for a 1 minute silence. We talked about why people buy and wear poppies.

We chose photographs to make a poster depicting good health and well being and ways of keeping safe. We watched a road safety power point, discussed how to safely cross the road and understood the need for road safety.

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:
Continuing their good work from the Climate Conference, the Transition class were Responsible Citizens when they complied the data from the Whole School Energy Audit. This data will be shared at Pupil Council next week.
Our Eco Vice Captain was being a responsible citizen and showing her support for COP26.

We’ve had a busy week in the Sungazers class! We learned about Road Safety and even learned a rap to remind us how to stay safe when crossing the road. We had some good poses:
We also learned about how to keep ourselves safe on Bonfire Night. To celebrate the 5th November, we made some healthy (and some not so healthy) edible sparklers!
Have a lovely Bonfire Night & weekend everyone!

The Asteroids have been learning about road safety with the help of Super Cat. We had great fun listening to the story, joining in with words and actions of the safety rap, road safety games, sorting out safe and unsafe situations and making our own Stop, Look, Listen and Think signs.
Well done, Asteroids!

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.

As part of our Eco targets and Globals Goals this year, we took on the challenge of making Eco friendly pumpkins. We had great fun carving our pumpkins and creating autumnal artwork with them. We then decided to turn our pumkins into bird feeders.
It is good fun carving pumpkins but we are really wasting food if they are just left to rot. By filling them with bird seed we are helping to reduce our food waste footprint whilst also feeding the birds that visit our sensory garden.

The Asteroids celebrated Diwali this morning – the Festival of Lights.
We practised the Diwali Makaton sign and learned about the different things people do to celebrate Diwali. One of these being creating a Rangoli to place at their front doors. These are very colourful and we made our very own using different shapes, pom poms and glitter. We even threaded some beads to make tassels for it! We enjoyed celebrating light over darkness by having our own sensory light experience inthe classroom.
Well done, Asteroids!
