A huge well done to Isaac, who has been a real hero in our community with his little sister. They have been litter picking around the area. He has also been a hero in his house, helping keep his bedroom tidy and making his own bed. Keep it up Isaac!
Also, to share some of the wonderful home learning going on around our Great Fire of London topic. Well done for Hana and her fantastic tudor style house. Well done to Paizlee for her fantastic posters too. Amazing! Well done to Edith too, for her poster!
If you have any pictures that you would like to share with us, we would love to see what you are getting up to and celebrating your wonderful achievements! If you would like to share, please could you send them via email.
Congratulations to this week’s Pride of Plover winners. We heard a lot about respect this week, which was the character trait that was being focused on. It was brilliant to hear how our winners showed respect in many different ways – to their friends, to adults and even to the learning! Well done, everyone!

This morning Year 1 received a letter from Rosa Parks asking if they would help her remember what happened on the bus. The children worked collaboratively to write their own labels and stick them to a picture from the scene.
We have celebrated World Mental Health Day completing some of our favourite activities. The children wore yellow and the activities we have explored help us to regulate ourselves and keep us calm such as blowing bubbles, calm breathing, colouring, jigsaws, arts and crafts and exercising our bodies.
This week we have been working very hard on our painting skills. We learned about the different parts of the paint brush (the toe, the ferrule and the handle). We then talked about Primary and Secondary colours and how they can be made. We then created our own colour wheels.
The next day we talked about how colours can represent mood; talking about warm colours and cool colours. We painted a sun and moon; deciding which colours would be most appropriate.
Today we have created a final piece of art to end our journey, learning about the Great Fire of London. The children talked about the warm colours representing the fire. We used a sponge to create an ombre effect for the background, making sure to dab to make it appear textured. The children then used their best cutting skills to cut out a design to represent the houses.
Our beautiful gallery deserved a post of its very own. The children worked so hard to create the finished piece; they look wonderful! They were so proud of their work and we are so proud of them! Well done 1C.
This week we have had fun being active in the hall and on the field. We have used a range of different movements and shown courage to have a go at something that has been tricky.
