This week Miss Jefferies has been teaching the children all about Isaiah an what he said over 700 years before Jesus was born. We realised that Jesus was always coming and had been promised to us. In response to his amazing words we created a piece of art work which depicted us coming out of darkness and into the light. Meanwhile Mrs H was in the hall with soem very focused actors. We are steadily working through our scenes - more and more children know their lines - thank you - keep practising.
Throughout the week our class altar has been stroon with poppies- there to remind us of those who fought and died for others in war.
The children led us in a calm and reflective worship.

MAGICAL MOMENTS OF LEARNING
It was difficult this week to out shine Mrs Mather’s art lesson. She has started our clay work in art. The children absolutely loved it! Next week we are making pinch pot! Then in Mrs Hunters 3-d shape lesson she handed out cocktail sticks and blue tak and the children had to construct 3-d models thinking carefully about the edges. Mrs Hotchkiss tried her best to impress with oral story telling, the story of Grace Darling in history and food chains! I would also like to say that the children have really impressed in maths. We have been exploring augmentation and the small steps that lead to bridging. The children have been brilliant moving with ease from a numberline with numbers to a blank one. Loads of excellent talking and reasoning about the numbers- well done everyone. PE was fun with Mr Nay and our reading continues to improve and improve!
LET’S CELEBRATE
