As it was Remembrance Day on Wednesday, we learnt about the importance and significance of Remembrance Day. Also, we learnt about why Poppy’s are used as a symbol.

On Wednesday we engaged in the 2 minute silence which was wonderful to reflect on how lucky we are and to think about all the heroes that were in the war.

It has been a busy week for events! This weekend is also Diwali! We learnt about Diwali and the traditions of how people celebrate, what they wear and what they eat.

We made henna patterns and showcased our artistic skills! We kept giving each other a high five with our new third hand!

We have been exploring the Rangoli pattern too!

Next week will be the first week we will be taking our reading books home to read with our homework helpers! We will also be introduced to Story World words which will help us learn sight words such as the, can and play. These words will appear in our reading books.

We continue to practise to stretch out our sounds in words! We have to make sure we are able to hear the first, middle and last sound in words such as cat, dog and leg.

We have chosen our new context and topic for learning to be all about Cars.

We have been exploring the differences of cars from the past and present.

‘Old cars have no seat belts, one chair and use steam to drive.’

‘Old cars had no windows or a roof! Cars now use petrol to drive.’

‘New cars are safer and more people can sit in them.’

For our construction area, we made a large car to play with!

As you can tell, we are super excited to have fresh sand delivered to our sand pit!

‘We are making potions and using leaves to make it change colour.’

Although it is freezing to everyone else, we have been having fun splashing in the puddles. We worked as a team to try and solve how we can travel the water from the beginning of the water pipe all the way to the large tyre and to the welly shed!

The smiling faces shows just how much fun we have outdoors regardless of the weather!

On our outdoor days, it is great to have a spare top or trousers in the bag just in case we do get wet or extra muddy!

It was lovely talking to everyone during Parents  Evening this week, you all had a wonderful and glowing report. I am sure your Mummies and Daddies are so proud of you just like I am with you all!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend everyone! See you on Monday!xxx
