We have come together to stage our Easter assembly this week. We’ve been waving palms and working like Roger Robins to tell this part of the Easter story. With Mrs Hotchkiss’ absence on Tuesday the children didn’t lead their usual worship. However, we were busy making something special for some special ladies!!! (I wonder what that could be?). Sadly, our little ducks have left now for a new home. The lovely Couch family will be looking after them and they’ll be visiting us when they are a little bigger! We have had fun with them. We even had a paddling pool in class - it was crazy! The ducks were diving, chasing and racing round and round! Then on Thursday we feed them from our hands before we said goodbye. Here is a little treat - watch them swim!
GOING DEEPER IN CONVERSATION
We are currently studying the “RELATE” module for My Happy Mind. We are learning how to actively listen. Why not set up an obstacle course and then blind fold each other and take turns giving instructions to get through it! Listen carefully!
MAGIC MOMENTS OF LEARNING
We’ve been very busy writing. We have written diaries related to our class novel. We have been a little owl and a little girl, who is fascinated by the dark. It has been a joy to read and mark all this lovely work! We have reached the end of the book and now we’re going to write a chapter of our own! In maths we’ve discovered the difference between an expression and an equation and we know what a product is and what a factor is!!!! We visited the Wright brothers’ early life - they were inventing from a very early age! We’ve been busy with Miss Bassett- learning to problem solve with money and read maps outside in PE. Mrs Mather came to teach us as we researched ducks - making some detailed educational posters! Sadly we were unable to go to Forest school - it has had to rescheduled.
As usual a week full of learning!.
