Our topic for this term is People Who Help Us and over the past few weeks we have been taking part in an art project with Mrs Preston on a Wednesday afternoon. We worked in groups to plan, design and create a lifeboat. The first week we planned what resources we would need to make our lifeboat and what each resource would be used for. The next few weeks we used our imagination and creativity to create the lifeboat using junk art, paint, glue and other resources.
Today we were able to present the boat to our class and tell them lots of details about the name of the boat, the captain’s name, how many crew it had and one group even told us the measurements of its height, width and length.
The most exciting part of our project was testing if our boats floated or sank. We are pleased to say that most of our boats floated and only a few toppled over onto their side. We talked about why they toppled over and we would consider this when completing a similar project. β΄π³
Well done to all the boys and girls for their fantastic team work and excellent presentation skills in front of their peers. Super work! βοΈβοΈβοΈ
Children in Year 2, Year 3 and Year 4 will be visiting Dennis on the library van every other Wednesday. Today the children were all given one book to return by Wednesday 24th November. If your child has a library card please send it with them every other Wednesday. If they do not have a library card please fill out the form in their school bag today and Dennis will issue them with a library card. The children really enjoyed their visit to the library van π

π Enjoy your half term break π
This week the boys and girls have had lots of fun playing with the Halloween related resources. They have been drawing Halloween pictures, carving and decorating a pumpkin, making potions in the water tray and dressing up in the home corner.
We have been busy little bees, learning lots of new skills.
Today we came to Nursery dressed up in our Halloween costumes. Some children were scary and Mrs Preston couldn’t figure out who was hiding behind the masks.
The children had some treats to finish off the day before their half term holidays.
Happy Halloween boys & girls and see you in November. ππΈπ·π§π»βοΈπ§π»
