Remembrance Day

We have created some beautiful poems after reading Flanders Fields and used watercolours/charcoal/pencils to create some poppy artwork to mark Remembrance Day.

We have been busy learning about Diwali the festival of light. We have moulded dough into Diya lamps. Made marks to create Rangoli patterns and wrote our names in our cards we have decorated.

Today we have read I Like Trains!

We have printed trains with blocks and made marks to represent train track, trains and signals.

Using historical sources

We read some accounts of evacuation during WW2, comparing content and explaining what information and evidence each source provided.

Hansel and Gretel: Dual Narratives

We have thoroughly enjoyed reading Neil Gaiman’s version of Hansel and Gretel, so much so, it led us to writing our own dual narratives. We are so proud of the writing we have produced.

Hansel and Gretel mural display completed.

How fabulous is this wall? !

Asda

This morning we have had lots of fun playing in our Asda supermarket. We have been writing shopping lists and paying for our food with money.

Retelling Lila and the Secret of Rain

We retold the story in teams and performed the story to our friends.
