Topic – practical art (printing)
As part of our art topic, we have been learning some of the processes and skills involved in printing. So far, we have designed our picture, transferred it onto a polystyrene tile and printed in blank ink on white paper. It has been very exciting and satisfying to see our prints coming out.
Living and Learning : Anti-Bullying Week
We kicked off our Anti-Bullying Week with ODD SOCKS DAY today. Lots of children chose to wear odd socks to celebrate what makes us all unique in Anti-Bullying Week.
This week’s theme is One Kind Word. Being kind to one another and using kind words is a simple but effective way to make other people feel happier.
Our reading fluency this week talks about our school definition of bullying and how we start to tackle it.
We will remember them
We observed the 2 minutes silence at 11am on 11th November. Children also talked about family members who they know were involved in wars or part of the armed forces.

Scientists in the making
Our science topic this half term is ‘Working Scientifically’. The vocabulary we are learning is below. Help at home by using some of the words in conversation at home so your child becomes familiar with them. There are also lots of science experiments here you could try.
We have observed closely this week, looking how coloured water is absorbed by tissue and can mix to make a new colour!
Awesome Adjective Day!
We had an amazing adjective day today. We learned a song, created expanded noun phrases, described characters and learned about adjectives all day!
