We have been busy practising our songs and poem for our Harvest Festival next week. They loved decorating their letters for their poem with things they found in nature.

The children are very excited to show you it all next week in the church.

In English, we have finished our own versions of 'Where the Wild Things Are'. The children worked really hard following the structure of the book but innovating it with their own ideas. They made sure to include all the correct punctuation, expanded noun phrases, coordinating conjunctions and different sentence types.

We have moved on to addition and subtraction in maths. This week we looked at number bonds to 10, 20, 100 and fact families. The children enjoyed using different manipulatives over the week to help them develop their understanding before moving onto problem-solving and reasoning questions.

In music, the children worked in groups to create their own call and response rhythms. They practised them with claps first, then moved onto using percussion instruments.

We have continued to think about creation in Christianity and this week we thought about what kind of things Christians and others do to look after the world and why they would want to. The children discussed and shared many ways we can look after our world and that Christians want to because they want to look after something God created.
