Rabbits

This week, for our innovate week, we planned and prepared a tea party! We made decorations, crowns, fruit salad, sandwiches and more! We invited Ladybirds and Hedgehogs to join us for our tea party! Everyone enjoyed our royal tea party full of Kings and Queens!

During Science week we carried out an experiment about the quickest way to melt ice and we were lucky to have an assembly with Atomic Tom!

In Rabbits, we had a fun day dressing up as different characters from books! We were also very lucky to have Year 3, Butterflies, come and visit us to share and read some of their favourite stories! What is your favourite story or book?

This week we have started our new topic ‘Bright Lights, Big City’ with a WOW moment by recreating Pudding Lane.

We have started learning about the Great Fire of London and reading Samuel Pepys Diary.

We made our own Tudor Houses and lined them outside to create our own Pudding Lane. We stood back and watched our Pudding Lane burn, just like the Great Fire of London in 1666.

What facts can you remember about the Great Fire of London?

Today we learnt about Mental Health Awareness Day! We talked all about different feelings and watched a clip from Inside Out to help us. After this we talked about how to use our worry box and who to talk to if we were worried (our network hands). We also talked about what happens to our body when we are worried and what helps us to feel relaxed when we are worried. What makes you feel relaxed?

Yesterday we learnt all about internet safety! We read the story Chicken Clicken and discussed about how we can stay safe online. Can you remember some of rules we talked about on how to stay safe online?

Rabbits and Caterpillars are having lots of fun making space artwork to show their parents on Friday for our innovate week! We look forward to showing these to our family and our posters we have been making!

Yesterday we were very lucky to have Dragonflies come and visit us! They shared their fantastic stories they wrote with us. We really enjoyed listening to these! What was the story you listened to about?

Last week we read an exciting book called ‘The Way Back Home’ by Oliver Jeffers.

As a class we created our text map to learn the story. Do you think you could retell it at home?

Once there was a small boy and one day, in a dark, dusty cupboard, he found a red aeroplane. He thought he’d take it out for a go right away.

The plane lifted off the ground and up into the bright, blue sky, higher, and higher and higher.

Suddenly the plane spluttered….. It had run out of petrol.

Now the boy was stuck on the moon. What was he to do?

He was alone, afraid and unhappy and soon his torch began to go out.

Unfortunately, up in space someone else was in trouble. His engine had broken down… and he landed on the moon with a bump.

The boy and the Martian could hear each other in the dark, they were scared and unhappy. But soon they found each other and weren’t alone any more.

Together they thought of clever ways to fix their machines and get back home.

The boy jumped down to earth to get the things they needed.

But by the time he got there he was tired so he sat down for a rest. He settled down in a small, comfortable chair to watch TV.

Suddenly he remembered what he should be doing and he ran to the dusty, dark cupboard for the things he needed.

He climbed up high and shouted to the Martian. A long, wiggly rope came down and the boy climbed up. Soon he was back on the moon.

The boy and the Martian fixed their machines. They said goodbye and thanked each other for their help and wondered if they would ever meet again. The boy went one way and the Martian went the other, both on their way back home.

Miss Marks arranged a visitor to come in today and teach us all about Shabbat! We had a great time and learnt lots!

Can you share what you learnt?
