What a busy first week back!

We started our class novel, The BFG  and set up a display for all the fantastic literacy work we are going to do around the novel this term.

The kids created fantastic pumpkin artwork developing both creativity and fine motor skills.

One of the most exciting tasks of the week was a collaborative task with the P6/7 class.  The kids worked in teams to develop a Halloween themed game.  This develops such a wide variety of meta skills such as critical thinking, collaborating, adapting, communicating, initiative, curiosity about the world and creativity. During this task we were visited by childhood and play expert Greg Bottrill who was extremely impressed with the work that the children were doing.
