We have been learning all about bees. We created fact files to help people understand more about bees and have been thinking about what we can do to help save the bees!
We loved dressing up in red and bright clothes for red nose day. Children spent lots of time telling jokes too, our favourite was "How does a girl called Elsa lose her balloon?" "Let it go!"
This week children in Reception went on a real life adventure from New Pudsey Train Station to Leeds City Centre. This formed part of the 'Civic Pride' Owlcotes Element.
As part of British Science Week we took part in a live lesson led by the Primary Science Teaching Trust. We were challenged to investigate shadows, thinking about how they are made and how they can be changed.
As part of the GREAT DREAM keys to happier living we have been thinking about what we can do to give back to others. We have created a 'Kindness Wall' where children have thought about what they can do for other people.
We spent lots of time throughout the day sharing books. We particularly enjoyed spending time with children from Year 4.
This half term in PE we are focusing on multi skills.
