Poppies

We have been learning about Remembrance Day. 

The children found out about how the poppy is a symbol of remembrance for those who gave their lives for their country.

The children practised their fine motor skills by carefully tracking patterns on a poppy.

They had fun creating finger print poppies. 

Each children needed to count out how many petals they were printing.

The children then talked about what they had made and why.

One child remembered the lesson and went on to create a poppy using shapes
and also made a poppy at home to show the rest of the class.

 We have had a very busy week this week as it has been both Inter Faith week and Anti Bullying week. We had lessons on both topics and had to create posters on these topics. Here are some pieces of our work.

Bikeability 6 Orwell

 This week was 6 Orwell's turn to improve their cycling skills. Some of us were lucky enough to cycle on our local roads. We all made sure we had our helmets and high visibility jackets before we embarked on our adventure. It was great fun!

Nursery - Michael Rosen Day

 Michael Rosen Day

Today, November 13th, is Michael Rosen Day.

To celebrate this wonderful author, we looked at the story

We're Going on a Bear Hunt, which was written by him.

We listened to him read the story (a link to the video can be found at the end of this post), and went on a sensory bear hunt of our own.

In the story, the family encounter many different things, such as...

Long, wavy grass

A deep, cold river.

Thick, oozy mud.

A big, dark forest.

A swirling, whirling snowstorm.

A narrow, gloomy cave.

We talked about what would happen if we went on our very own bear hunt and where he would hide in our school.

Children designed the wellies they would wear on the hunt...

Children also drew and coloured their own bear faces.

Here is a video of Michael Rosen reading the story as promised.

Enjoy!
