Autumn fun
We had an afternoon inspired by everything Autumn! We listened to the Leaf Man story and created our own characters. We painted Autumn trees and made leaf rubbings. Reception used conkers to count and match numbers. Year 2 wrote some amazing descriptions of seasonal changes.
Our Toy Museum
We have been creating descriptions of toys from the past. We wrote labels for each toy so visitors to our toy museum can find out about how children played with toys beyond our living memory.
Non-fiction: Toys in the past
Our new English text is an information book. We have been learning about features including contents, index and glossary. We are going to write descriptions of old toys for our Toy Museum in the classroom. Everyone had lots of fun playing with the toys!
Subitising 3 and 4
Reception have been looking at the different ways 3 and 4 can be made. The Numberblocks help us to remember! Today they made their own subitising cards with spots and stickers!
Writing poetry
Year 2 have been thinking about what makes them unique to create Who am I? poems. We celebrated what makes us special and some of the children are now using handwriting pens for writing too!

Great teamwork Year 2!

RNLI Water Safety Workshop
We had a visit today from Alan from the RNLI. He told us all about the amazing work they do. He also shared ways we can keep ourselves safe when we are near the water.
Animal Homes
We created animal homes using a variety of natural materials. Then we tested them to see if they were waterproof or absorbent - two words we learnt in our Materials topic! We found out the more layers, the better! Team work makes the dream work!
