This half term we are learning about keeping healthy. In Science we are learning about the different functions of the body and in Design & Technology we are learning about the healthy food plate.

As part of our Great Fire of London topic we having been thinking about fire safety. We decided to help others stay safe as bonfire night is approaching. We made fire safety posters and displayed them around the school to help keep everybody safe on Bonfire night.
During Reflective Friday, we looked at this weeks picture news which was about a man who had broke a new world record for running. He was in the news because other people weren’t happy that he was wearing ‘super shoes’. We discussed if we thought this was fair or not, and how both the other runners and the runner who won might now be feeling. We talked about how the bible tells us to always Read more
During our Science lesson, we looked at Non-Newton fluids. These are liquids that change the behaviour when a force is applied to them. We found that when we squeezed the Oobleck or tried to pull something through it, it becomes more solid. However, when it is not under pressure, it will flow like a liquid.
Today we discussed how everyone is special. We looked into the mirror and said “I’m special because….” and then told another member of the class why they are special. We thought about how bring different to one another makes us special and that we should celebrate our differences. We enjoyed joining in with Harold’s ‘I’m special, you’re special’ song.
Bluebells have been enjoying using the apparatus in our P.E lesson this week. We have been learning about the importance of doing a warm up, a cool down and keeping safe whilst using the apparatus. We all had lots of fun and enjoyed doing different exercises!
During our first forest school session, we were able to take part in many activities, including making bird feeders, freeze frames of autumn pictures and finished with trust games. It was very muddy but we had lots of fun!
We loved running round the garden, looking for colourful, vibrant plants. We have lots of amazing plants still, even in Autumn. We enjoyed clearing away some of the leaves 🍂 and putting them on the compost heap.
Our story this week is Room on the Broom. During forest school, we all worked together to make our own potion. We talked about what ingredients we would need to create a spell and what our spell would do. Everyone had a brilliant imagination!
This week we were fortunate enough to receive a visit from our local police force to teach us some valuable truck safety information. The children were surprised to learn how little a truck driver can see when a person is standing close to the front of the truck. The children had a great learning experience and enjoyed becoming the truck driver.
