Today we had a visit from Izzy Swanson. She will be visiting us each week this term to do some Space drama with us.

We made birthday cards during Golden Time which will mean that everyone will get a birthday card from the class on their birthday. Jenna had her birthday during the holidays so we sang Happy Birthday to her and gave her one of the cards. We hope you had a lovely day, Jenna!

Our first day
After catching up on each other’s holiday news, today we worked in groups to create a Class Charter in line with the Rights Respecting School Award. We looked at the rights we have within the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. We worked in groups to answer four questions:
- A good classmate is…
- In our class we should feel…
- To be successful this year we will need…
- In our class we should…
Working in cooperative groups to create our Class Charter
After we had each had a chance to answer the questions on post it notes we drew them together to create our Class Charter which we have all agreed with and have signed.

We are looking forward to our year ahead!
