We have had another great week. Our highlights are:

• Learning about Guy Fawkes and Bonfire Night before making firework paintings. We then had a visit from P6/7 to teach us how to be safe with fireworks and bonfires. The presentation was amazing and they taught us lots. We made posters to show what they taught us and showed them to the P6/7s – they were really impressed with our hard work.
• Climbing trees during Outdoor learning using tree climbing straps to help us get up higher. The children worked together to find a good tree to climb and took turns to go as high as they felt comfortable – getting down was the scarier part but the children supported each other and communicated well throughout to help guide the climber back down.
• Making our own ‘Al the Alligator’ prop for comparing numbers. We used it to help fill in missing signs and say the sentence out loud (eg. 76 is greater than 41). We enjoyed playing games on the laptop to practise too.

 

A couple of tricky tasks:

• Making weather mobiles because they were fiddly and the strings kept getting in a tangle.
• Some children found their phonics tricky this week – igh and y. They were practising which spelling is usually found in the middle of words and which is at the end.

 

Our Lead Learners this week were Kellan and Ella, they thought the class have been really kind this week and have worked well together. Well done everyone!

 

Have a super weekend – look out for the fireworks and stay safe!
