Collaborative Remembrance art work for our parade. The children also created a beautiful poem to share.

This week in PE we enjoyed pretending to be superheroes. We moved around in different ‘superhero’ ways, making sure we navigated the space without bumping into anyone. We played a version of tag where the children had to work in teams. We had a group of villains that who could tag the other children. These children had to freeze. The other children then had to become superheroes, working in pairs to free the ‘frozen’ children!

We have been exploring mark-making using a range of materials. Each pumpkin was created using spirals, waves, cross- hatching and dashes. In maths we have been exploring number and colour patterns. We have also had the chance to create Autumn sculptures using natural materials.

This week in science we have enjoyed sharing the knowledge we have built up during our topic about the animal kingdom. We have worked in provision to create our own insects using natural materials and carried out sorting activities. We introduced the new vocabulary carnivore, herbivore and omnivore. I wonder if you can remember what they mean?

We’ve had fun this week exploring the book: Handa’s Surprise. Throughout provision we have been learning how to draw from observation and taste a variety of fruits. We’ve also been re-telling the story through role play made various baskets for Handa’s fruit. During maths, we have been finding 1 more and 1 less and applying this throughout provision. What a busy week we’ve had!

Today we had a visit from some amazing creatures. In Science, we have been learning all about the Animal Kingdom and it was great to learn some new facts. Well done to all of 1DC you were very brave. It’s great that you tried something new.

“We are one body of many parts”.

Today we read ‘Try’ by Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield. We then talked about what a ‘hero’ was and who we considered to be our hero.

We realised that heroes don’t need to wear capes, but have qualities that we admire. Many of our heroes were friends of family members.
