We had so much fun dressing up for World Book Day. We started the day with a special assembly and then went back to our class to listen to the story, ‘The friendship bench’. We then designed our very own friendship benches. Some of us also made story characters using potatoes! In the afternoon we made a class scrapbook writing
We went on a walk around school to spot different aspects of our natural world. We found a birds nest, fungi, lichen, moss and sadly some litter. We discussed why we should look after our world and how we could do this.
We have been mixing primary colours to find out what happens. We used rollers and paint brushes to produce our art work!

He also described how his church would be celebrating Harvest this year. As a school we collected enough food to fill over 18 crates
On a very sunny day we decided to go outside to draw our self portrait. We drew the outline of our face and then added our features using natural materials.
In Science this week we have been learning all about plants. We went to our school pond and wildlife area in search of some. We chose our favourite plants to draw and we labelled them too. We also enjoyed looking for newts in our school pond.
