We were inspired by P5’s Kindness Boomerang video and came up with our own ‘chain of kindness’. When someone is kind or helpful we add a link to our paperchain. We’re hoping it will soon reach across the classroom!

We’ve had lots of fun with fireworks this week. We designed rockets and fireworks with 2D shapes. We then painted these onto our black fabric with acrylic paints. We were so excited to see all of the brilliant banners in the field! We learned about why we celebrate Bonfire Night, who Guy Fawkes was and why put him on the bonfire! We also had a chat about bonfire, firework and sparkler safety.

In numeracy this week we’ve been doing lots of addition, looking at the different ways to make 11, 12 and 13. We’ve been doing this inside and out, using cubes, stones, conkers and imaginary sheep! We’re also still practising our numbers and making sure they’re all facing the correct way.

We’ve been concentrating on –et rhymes this week, for example, vet, met, wet etc. We wrote a list of real and nonsense words and a silly story with lots of –et words.

In our writing we’re concentrating on imaginative writing. This week we wrote three part stories with an introduction, a problem and a solution. Our title was ‘The Broken Toy’. We’re trying really hard with our capital letters and full stops.
