Our classes all made their own poppy wreaths to bring to today’s special assembly. During English this week our Year 2s wrote wonderful, emotional poems. Click here to read a truly incredibly poem that was written independently!
The children really enjoyed sharing the text, ‘Pumpkin Soup’, by Helen Cooper and have been exploring pumpkins this week.
We have settled well into our new term and our new topic of Antarctica.

This week the children have been learning about the Jolly Postman and have been writing letters, creating maps and looking at some of the traditional stories in the book.
Trying to teach our children the importance of healthy eating and nutrition is a constant nightmare for many parents.
I hope you had a lovely half term. On Tuesday 7th November it is Parent’s Consultation day. If you would like to meet with me please contact the school office to arrange a time. Thank you.

We are very excited to have been learning about the events that took place on the 5th of November in 1605 when Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament.
We are really pleased to see the children back at school refreshed and eager to learn during this new term.
