This week, Class 6 have enjoyed learning about the Indian festival of Diwali which begins on Saturday. We have learned about the story of Rama and Sita, practised our fine motor skills by carefully colouring rangoli patterns and listened to some Diwali-inspired Indian music.
What a lovely celebration of Diwali.
This morning we have spent time in crew thinking about Diwali – The Festival of Light!
Here’s what we got up to.
It’s when they have lots of different colours ~ Kian
They light candles and put up lots of lights ~ Joel
They use their fingers to paint and leave their doors open ~ JJ
This is when they celebrate their new year which is different to ours ~ Ella-May
Look out for the final creation later!
The children have really enjoyed their remembrance day art work this afternoon. It was great to see the time and care they took drawing their poppies in honour of everyone who has lost their lives so that we can have everything we have today. Great work Class 10!
     
 
Lest we forget. 11AM fell in the middle of playtime today but it didn’t stop Year1 from pausing to show their respect with a 2minute silence. Well done to all the boys and girls who have shared some wonderful reflections about why Remembrance Day is so important.
Just a reminder that all students have got new e-mail addresses to access the online classroom.
All year 3 students new e-mail is [email protected]

Today, Class 10 received an unexpected letter from Willy Wonka who needs our help to write instructions for some of his famous recipes.
This re-hook ready for our instructions hot piece has given the children some inspiration for their writing. We now need to plan, write, edit and write up our touch down instructions. We will share these with you when we have finished so keep a look out!

It has been a great first week back in Class 10 and I have been blown away with how hard everyone has worked. The children are making it very difficult to pick a learning legend each day as there are so many that are following our HOWLs to work hard, be kind and get smart.
However, this weeks learning legends were Jacob, Rosie, Ella-May, Lewis and Jamie.
In year 3 this week we have been learning how to multiply by ten and use column method for multiplication. It has been great to see all the children being Stickabilty Stans and Motivated Mos to complete there work.
 
 
 
Here is a video if the method we used for column multiplication if you want to have a go at home.
