Week beginning - Monday 8th November

 In Science this week we have been exploring a variety of materials and their names. We went on a materials hut to see what we could find in and around school!



























































On Thursday 11th November we celebrated Remembrance Day; together we shared a Powerpoint presentation to help us identify and understand why this day is celebrated and why poppies are worn. After some very rich discussions around Remembrance Day,  the children had the opportunity to make their own poppy. These are displayed in the classroom and will go into 'Our Journey through prayer' book next week.








As part of our Gender Equality Day on Monday, we did some work around Elmer the patchwork elephant. We shared the story and the designed our own elephant on reflection of what we had learnt about Gender Equality and inclusiveness that morning. Each child designed their own elephant and today we voted for the elephant we would like to make our main piece of artwork of. The children will now work collectively to create a large elephant. Not forgetting a huge special mention to Miss Coles who did a wonderful job a drawing and cutting out our large elephant for us.

 The children loved their triple jump lesson this week! They applied their mathematical knowledge and understanding when measuring the distance they had jumped.  This week we planted our sunflower plants; it was a VERY hard job because the ground was so dry and solid.  This week we looked at the features of a Haiku poem and focused particularly on the syllables within a Haiku poem. The children used instruments to tap out the syllables within words.   We made bread in DT! Our bread was a huge success and the children worked very hard when weighing out the ingredients for our bread.  We have been working on volume and capacity this week and comparing different amounts!

 On Monday we enjoyed a trip to Bookbugs and Dragon Tales in Norwich. We shared stories and had a lovely look around the bookshop. We made a Christmas craft linking to the book we had just read. In the afternoon we enjoyed a drama workshop around the Julia Donaldson book, Zog. Before we left, the children had the opportunity to purchase a book of their choice!  On Tuesday we wale to St Mary's Church in Stalham to look at the trees at the Christmas Tree Festival. We enjoyed looking at all of the tree and then having a hot chocolate and biscuit before we left and walked back to school! Today we continued our project around Gender Equality, drawing and colouring our self portraits to stick on Elmer the elephant that Miss Coles helped us to make! Today with Miss Coles the children mad reindeer food in preparation for Christmas!
