Beanstalks and Sunflowers: Week ending 19th March

 What a wonderful week we've had in Hedgehog Class.

The children are settling back into school gradually. In some ways, it's a bit like September: re-adjusting to school routines and expectations and getting to know friends again. They are all doing a great job and it is just wonderful to have them in school.

This week we read Jack and the Beanstalk. 

Then we:

* wrote some letters to Jack

* turned our indoor shed into Jack's house (lots of brilliant creativity here)

* filled three tyres with compost (a great problem solving activity as the compost had to be transported from a pile into the tyres using an array of buckets, tubs and... teaspoons)

* talked about seeds such as acorns, conkers, beans and sunflower seeds

* planted some sunflower seeds

* started creating a sunflower garden wall in our classroom. Here is a sneak preview:

We'll be continuing our Jack and the Beanstalk work next week.

We managed to have a fire at forest school this week and the children enjoyed some 'smores.

On Friday they became superheroes for Comic Relief! Daphne joined in!

Next week I will send home some information on how your child is getting on with the core skills. For now, please do read daily with your child using Rising Stars or any books you have at home.

Should you need more Rising Stars books, please email me via the office email address or catch me for a quick message after school.

Have a good weekend!
