Phonics book

This week we have learnt the sounds y and al, and we have also been reviewing our other sounds. You will find this book in the ELS ebook library. Use the search bar to find it.

We enjoyed a walk in the village this week, spotting lots of signs of autumn and filling our pockets with conkers as we ambled through the woods! We are looking forward to returning to the same spots to see how they change throughout the year.

Fantastic Friday saw the arrival of autumn in Butterflies Class!

This week we have been reading 'Grandad's Island'. We pretended to be Syd and Grandad, and asked each other questions about how we felt during different times in the story. We had to stay in character and answer as if we were Syd or Grandad!

Cotton bud skeletons and a rather windy senses walk!

We have been finding out about England this week as part of our United Kingdom topic. We have made Lego bridges to go over the River Thames, used blocks to make Stone Henge and printed celery to paint English roses.

R.E. Day - Ramadan

We had a wonderful time learning all about the month of Ramadan and the things that Muslims do during this time. We all broke our fast together by eating dates and drinking water before we went to break, we thought about the things we were grateful for, we made prayer mats and paper lanterns to celebrate Eid, which celebrates the end of Ramadan.

Making Houses

We had great fun making houses out of cardboard boxes, we even added furniture!

Fantastic Friday

Year 6 came to read with us for one of our Fantastic Friday activities this term - it was great fun and we hope to do it again soon!

Village Walk

We went on a walk to see the different types of houses that we could see in our local area. We found bungalows, terraced houses, semi-detached houses and detached houses. We also spotted houses that used to be other things before people lived in them, like a Post Office and the old School!

Making Gingerbread Men

We had a lovely time making Gingerbread Men this week to support our learning about Instruction Writing in English!

Making Chapatis

In a few weeks, the Iman will be coming in to teach us all about Eid. In preparation for this, we have been thinking about Eid celebrations and traditional foods that might be eaten. Mrs Twynam helped us to make some chapatis with a raita dip - we loved trying some new food!
