Happy Half Term Blue Class
Well done Blue Class for another successful half term during which you continued to work hard with resilience and enthusiasm. We kicked off 2024 with an exciting 'Blackwell Film Festival' topic where you created your own films linked to all of your learning. You proudly shared them with Yellow Class who were very impressed with your film making skills.
We finished the half term with a 'What's special?' topic where we enjoyed reading an award-winning text, The Rhythm of Rain by Grahame Baker-Smith, and created your own picture books for our Red Class friends to help them learn how special water is. During this topic we also learned about the Hindu faith. Our trip to the Hindu temple was certainly a fascinating one particularly being able to observe many rituals, see artefacts and hear stories learned about in school. Visiting such a place, for many of us, was very different and new but the respect and curiosity shown by all of you was noted by our guide and other visitors there. These experiences are important in helping you to understand how diverse our local area is and how such diversity helps make our community and wider world an interesting place to live.
It has been a busy and hardworking half term so have a good break this week. Enjoy time at home or away, with lots of time to rest and play. A little bit of reading and times table practice would be really helpful too so that you continue where you left off when you return. We look forward to seeing you on Monday 19th February where we will set sail on the Seven Seas and learn about some swashbuckling adventures!
Be safe, helpful and kind and we'll see you all soon.
Love from Miss Townsend and Miss Kuriger xxx
