Remembrance Day

11th November 2022
Today, the whole school came together and stood in the playground, in their classes, to take part in the 2 minutes silence. During this time, we remembered all of the people and animals who we have lost and those who are still helping to keep us safe. We are incredibly proud of how all of the children conducted themselves.
On a wild and windy morning this week we read Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson. The witch and her friends were flying through a windy Autumn day as well! We collected twigs, leaves, acorns and sticks from the woods to make our own big potion then practised out knot tying skills when we made broomsticks and wands. When it started to rain, some of the group found very clever ways to collect the rain water that was running down our outdoor shelter and then mixed it into their pumpkin potions. We also enjoyed reading some other witchy books while we had our milk and snack in the woods.
We started our design and technology topic this week. We are going to be creating a Christmas card using a mechanism of our choosing. Over the next few weeks we are going to be exploring different sliders and levers. This week, we discovered how to make a slider and after we made our beautiful pictures, we told stories using them!
Have a lovely weekend!
