PE
Friends and Family
Our theme in PE this week was Friends and Family and we were learning how to follow instructions and to stop safely. We began with our warm up, we found our own space and listened to instructions from Miss Forrest we then had to move around in our space in different ways such as jogging, hopping. We then found a friend to work with and we made a friendship train we had to walk around our space and respond the different instructions. To end our PE lesson we played a game called Family run, Miss Forrest placed a line of cones on the floor and we had to stand behind them, Miss Forrest gave us instructions and they were all about our family and friends if that instruction applied to us we had to run or jog or side step the other other side of the hall, we had so much fun today in PE please take a look at our pictures.

" One Kind Word"
We celebrated Antibullying this week, our theme this year was "One Kind Word" We started the week by coming into school wearing odd socks! We then had the opportunity to design our very own odd socks we really enjoyed the activity and there were some very colourful designs. We had a discussion with Miss Forrest about being kind and unkind towards people. Some of us even got to make some friendship bracelets and necklaces for our friends we used string and different coloured beads. We have really enjoyed our week. Please take a look at our pictures of us enjoying our Antibullying week.

Our first visit to our school library!
We were so excited to visit our new key stage one library. We all set off the library to choose a book. We listened to the rules about how to behave in the library and chose our books quietly. We enjoyed sharing our books with our friends and found each others books funny and interesting. We can’t wait to visit again to choose another book to take home to share with our family. Please take a look at some of us choosing our library books.

We raised lots of money for this fantastic cause. Thank you so much everyone for your kind donations!!
Our four season calendar
We have really enjoyed getting creative and making our four season calendar, we started by having our hand painted brown which that was turned into our tree, we then thought of different colours we could use to represent the four seasons we used colours such as pink green yellow, red orange, and blue. We used our fingertips to create our leaves for each season. We were so excited to give them to our grown-ups we hope you all liked them!!
