As part of our Explorers topic we have created a ship in our role play area to explore different islands. We are looking forward to developing our speaking and listening skills, taking on different roles and finding out about countries that explorers discovered. 


On Monday we went to St Chads Church as part of our Religious Studies. The Rev. Jackie Calow talked to us all about what happens in church and her role. We took part in a pretend wedding, Christening and Jackie showed us how a  funeral was conducted using Shrek. Then we all searched church to complete a quiz and wrote prayers that we sent to God in a balloon.

We also got to have communion with blackcurrant juice and bread! We have been reflecting on our learning back in school and have discussed the Christian cerebration's of birth, the end of life and commitment to others.









Come and have a look at the finished aboriginal art work displayed on hessian hung
up in the classroom, it looks amazing!

We are enjoying our topic on Australia and have been busy researching the country , finding out where it is in the world and what the weather is like, finding out key facts from a range of information including pictures, text and diagrams. 


We read information about Kangaroos and wrote our own information leaflets about them. 


We enjoyed finding our about Aboriginal art and remembered from our art work about Queen Victoria that it was called pointillism.

















We enjoyed sketching pictures of wild plants we found in our school garden. We developed our sketching skills using line and tone. We talked about how the flowers had grown there, learning the new word dispersal.
