RE Week
We have been incredibly busy this week learning all sorts of things, particularly about different faiths and what some people believe. Here are some pictures of our fantastic Easter gardens, our Tree of Thankfulness and our fun bridging in Maths. We also baked Jewish Challah bread. In Show and Tell we heard all about weddings, flowergirls, Godmothers, Christenings and Hannukah! It was brilliant to see pictures of Christenings and even dresses from weddings!
In our lessons we have learnt about Religious symbols and compared Christian symbols with Jewish ones.
We also have a new feature in our classroom called ‘The Tree of Thankfulness.’ On real leaves, we have written some of the things that we are thankful for. This will remind us to be thankful for everything we have!
We are so excited that a member of our class has been in a performance in Norwich! Sophie was in Heart and Soul- Thumbelina at the Theatre Royal at the weekend. Congratulations Sophie!

Poet Tree!
Welcome back everybody, and a special welcome to the sunny weather!
We are in for a very busy term and are looking forward to so many things. We begin our topic with an RE week, in which we will explore and contrast Christianity and Judaism. The children have already been asking lots of questions... we look forward to Show and Tell this Friday, where hopefully we will be discussing even more religious celebrations. Please remember that Friday is also Parkinson's awareness day, and everybody will be wearing fun headgear. Connie made a fantastic 'twisty pipe-cleaner alice band creation' on Red Nose Day... a little idea for those who might be stuck? Possibly with your own fun 'twist'?!
We are collecting real leaves for our 'Tree of Thankfulness' and would love you to please join in with us by writing something you are thankful for on your own leaf. You could either send one into school for your child to hang on our tree or fill one out when your drop/ collect. The children would absolutely love you to join in, and there is no limit... it would be wonderful to see our tree flourish!
Our focus in Maths this week is addition. We were fortunate enough to be inspired by Carolina's visit to the circus, followed by Miss Loaker's rather good juggling skills! It seemed only right that we learn our very own TRICK! So here it is...
"When adding, you post the biggest number in your head, and then count on the smallest number".
We have all learned that simple trick - see if we can remember how to say it for you? Can we show you how to do it with numbers? Step 1 to mastering 'arith-magic'! :)

Let's hope this beautiful blue sky is here all week!
