We have had a busy and exciting week this week. The children returned from the half term break in high spirits and ready to learn. I have been impressed by each and every one of them for their fantastic behaviour and good listening.

In Maths we have been on a number hunt and finding different ways to represent numbers:

We have been learning about Diwali. We listened to the story of Rama and Sita, learned about how to prepare for Diwali, made Diva lamps, lanterns, Rangoli patterns and Diwali cards:

In the afternoons we have been doing ‘Dough Disco’. We each have a piece of play dough. We do actions using the play dough such as ‘roll it, squeeze it, poke it’ to music. It is great fun and helps to strengthen our fingers ready to hold a pencil for writing:

On Friday afternoon we learned the story of Guy Fawkes. We also learned some firework safety by watching, and discussing, a Fireman Sam Firework safety video. We hope you all have a lovely weekend and enjoy the fireworks if you are going to see some. We would love it if you could send some photos via Dojo of any fireworks you see.
