13th November

What another busy week!

In our English, we have written some fantastic flashback narratives using lots of previous tools. In Maths, we have been dividing – short and long. We started our Geography unit this week too – exploring map symbols and using keys to identify features. In Science, we finished our living things and their habitats unit by finding out about the plant life cycle. In RE, we compared Hajj with the pilgrimages that Hindus complete. Our PE was all about body percussion and keeping the rhythm and timing for a stomp dance.  For Poetry day, we wrote silly poems about lunchtimes based on ‘Dinner Disaster’ by Michael Rosen. On Remembrance Day, the children were incredible and respectful in our worship. We even used our poppy pictures from our art project last term to decorate the hall. In forest school this week, we had a spider hunt (illustrations, not real!) and some spider-inspired crafts to get involved in, including weaving our own spider web! There was sawing, hammering, drilling and even crochet going on! In other areas, we had some epic leaf piles created through team effort, a bug hotel, a fairy house and a stick family, complete with dog. Thank you Mhairi and Mrs Farrant for facilitating our forest school sessions - Red Kites really enjoy them!

Don’t forget to come to the Winter Fayre tomorrow at 11am!

Have a great weekend.
