We had a great end to a busy week making our leafy lions! In the virtual assembly this week Mrs Wilson spoke about courage, one of Kingsland’s four values, and read us a story about a lion and a mouse. We spoke about how there are some things we feel brave about and some things we feel nervous about and need to have courage.

To make our lions we went for a walk around the school grounds and collected leaves in autumnal colours. Sycamore leaves were our favourite lion shade. We mixed orange and yellow paint to find the right shade, painted paper plates and then glued on the leaves, eyes and nose.

In literacy this week we’ve been reading and practising our key words. We also read the picturebook The Suitcase, did a black pen picture of a Suitcase and wrote about what we would keep in our own suitcase. We also wrote some silly sentences with the Who, What and Where. In numeracy we’ve been adding and subtracting and have been using the Base Tens, numicon and Cuisenaire rods to look at the different ways to make numbers.

Have a great October break and see you on the 19th!
