Knitting like Raffi

Round two of knitting for the Oak room, we failed our first attempted so we gave a new technique a try.  We were much more successful! We all worked together, we were effective contributors and managed to make three bracelets.

Our LGBT story is about Raffi, who likes to knit. He worries about liking things that others do  not.  He is worried that people will make fun of him because he likes different things and not the same as everyone else.

Raffi learns that his he has a talent of knitting and this can be used to help others and make people happy.

In the Oak class we have been learning about what makes us different from everyone else and that we are amazing just the way we are. All our hard work will be shared in our class assembly tomorrow to celebrate LGBT.

We confidently used them for lots of different learning activities. Counted them and  made sure everyone had all 6 colours, we signed all of the colours, we arranged the hearts into the correct size orders and then we strung them all together – don’t they look pretty

LGBT Art

*Successful Learners*   *Confident Individuals*

The Moonbeams have continued their learning this week through their LGBT Theme. The children were painting and decorating the flag which represents diversity in preparation for their Assembly next week. The class also listened to songs about being different and chose their favourite song to practice and present at Assembly.

 

This week the Moonbeams made waffles during cookery. They concentrated while pouring and mixing the ingredients together. Some of the pupils chopped up strawberries and used the microwave to make toppings. The waffles were enjoyed by all!

LGBT Study – And Tango Makes Three

* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS *

The Bluebells class have enjoyed reading a new story this week. We read the true story called “And Tango Makes Three”. The story takes place in Central Park Zoo where two male penguins Roy and Silo meet and fall in love. They are met with some challenges along the way but the story ends up with them having a daughter named Tango and they are a loving family of three.

We really enjoyed reading this story and we also researched pictures of the real life Roy, Silo and Tango before creating our own using shapes and coloured card. Finally, we found some online penguin themed jigsaws which we have enjoyed doing.
