What another amazing week we have had! This week was the start of Chinese New Year, so we got dressed up in some colourful Chinese outfits and performed a dragon dance in front of the whole school. We all did such an amazing job and at the end of the assembly some of us even tried some different Chinese food.

In Maths, we have continued to learn how to tell the time. We have become such amazing time tellers and we can now match analogue and digital times shown on a clock.

In English we have been learning about the 7 different continents. We are now so confident in naming them biggest to smallest. This week we have gathered into small groups and each learnt about a different continent. Firstly, we watch some fact file videos and made notes of different facts that we had heard. We then began to make our own fact file videos and later used them to do some Early writing sentences in our books. What a clever bunch we are !

In science and Art this week we have focused on the Moon. In our science lesson we made another fact file about the moon and learnt so many interesting facts about it. One fact that we learnt was that the moon is a natural satellite that orbits the Earth! Following on from this, we then took a trip outside to find a variety of different rocks that we could use for our sculptures. We then came back to class and used clay to create sculptures of the moon. It was important that we used different tools to make craters in our sculptures so they looked just like the Moon.

In Thrive this week, we started off the session once again with a lovely stretch to some relaxing music. We are getting really good at this and it helps start the session off in a positive way. We then got into groups of 3 and worked on our communication and turn taking skills through the use of Lego therapy. This was very important as we were all designated a special role and had to make sure that we listened to the correct friend in order to create a Lego model.

We hope you have a lovely weekend and stay safe.
