National Road Safety Week - "Stop, Look, Listen, Think - Is it safe to cross?"

NSPCC "Buddy"

We've helped raise money for BBC's Children in Need! Yay PUDSEY!

Today we have been learning all about the festival of Diwali! We have had a super creative afternoon making our own Diva lamps out of play dough, colouring our own welcoming Rangoli door pattern out of chalk and drawing pretty Mendhi hand patterns. We did all this whilst listening to traditional Diwali celebration music!

We made our own pinwheel poppies to create our own Poppy Garden. We Will Remember Them!

Our topic for Term 1 was... Traditional Tales!

After reading the gingerbread man as part of this terms topic, we made and decorated our own - luckily they didn't run away!

Happy Halloween!

Hello Yellow Day - We made friendship bracelets for each other to brighten up our day and remind each other that we are there for one another!

Take a look at how big our beanstalks grew - right up to the giants castle!

We made porridge for snack time, just like the bears in our Goldilocks story, yummy!

Harvest baskets full of fruits and vegetables!

Painting tractors ready for our Harvest Festival song!

Whilst in the nature area, we all collected sticks to create a stick house, just like one of the pigs in our traditional tale this week. We then took it in turns to act out this part of the story in pairs. Check out the video clips on our school video channel:

We wrote a class letter from Goldilocks to the Three Bears.
