The weeks are certainly flying by now as we travel through advent together in love, prosperity and reflection. We have just indulged ourselves into advent this week with no better way than with our Nursery and Reception Nativity performance on Tuesday. We then strapped up and bared the winter weather for some Christmas tree planting around our forest school area. In art, Mrs Mather has been testing the children’s drawing skills as they have been replicating the scene of the Nativity. We have also been down at Church for our first altar practice of our KS2 Christmas Concert, ready to fill our sacred place with song and scripture. To end our week, as a school we came together for our ‘Travelling Nativity’, again coming together with song and scripture to really celebrate this wonderful time.
Conversation Starters
In Geography, we have been comparing biomes around the world and the animals that live within these environments. We finished with a ‘what is your favourite and why’ question about biomes. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live and why?
Riddle of the Week
I have legs but I can’t walk. I have a back and arms but I can’t reach.
What am I?
