Halloween Fun!

On Friday, the children came into school wearing the most fantastic Halloween outfits! Miss Campbell and Kru Bee were a little spooked by all of the zombies, witches, pirates and ghosts who were now lurking around their classroom. We were very grateful to have had Harry Potter to protect us from any harm!

All of the children made a fantastic effort and had a wonderful day learning about the history of Halloween and taking part in Halloween based activities.








We were particularly impressed with Diego's costume which had been handmade by himself alongside his very talented mum, wow!


We thought it would be great fun to begin our extreme reading challenge whilst we were in costume so during our reading hour we ventured out into the school and found some rather ridiculous places to read our books.
Take a look...













Reading in strange places was a lot of fun!

A Chembakolli Village

This week, our India topic comes to an end. We have thoroughly enjoyed finding out about a different way of life and comparing it to our own has been fascinating.

During art lessons we have been creating a Chembakoli village (this is a small village in the south of India), first we learnt about the conditions of housing and then we looked at the surrounding environment. After that, we used the knowledge that we had acquired to draw a plan of a village. Finally, we brought these to life and created our very own 3D models.

Here are the results...






















All models will be sent home with the children before the end of half-term.

House T-shirt Day

Dear Parents,

This Friday 18th of October, children will be allowed to wear their P.E shorts and house t-shirts to school. This is a reward for the hard work that they have put in during this half-term.

Thank you.

Miss Campbell
