We came together outside to act out the story of Diwali.

We used a needle to thread tissue paper circles to make garlands.

We marked Remembrance Day by coming together for Collective worship. We then made poppies.

We made them into a wreath. White poppies represent peace.

We filled up our class kindness buckt.

As a reward, we had hot chocolate in our school garden.

It was yummy!

We sat around the camp fire.

We were taught how to toast marshmallows safely.

We had a go.

Delicious!

W/B: 02/11/2020 - This week we kicked off our topic of 'Light and Dark' with a Science experiment... Fireworks in milk!

We dropped coloring in milk, using a pipette.

We then dipped a cotton bud in washing up liquid and touched the colours with it.

Ask us what we discovered! Try it at home... what happens if you swap the milk for water?
