Poppies

This week we have been learning about Remembrance Day and we read the book ‘Where The Poppies Now Grow’ by Hilary Robinson. We also watched the short animation ‘Poppies’ and the children chose a scene from the film to write about.

In maths, we have been practicing measuring and learning about longer and shorter. Children made playdough worms and compared their length. They looked at and compared 3 different lines on the playground. They estimated that the most wiggly line would be the longest and then checked by walking along the lines and counting their steps.

Our home corner is now and Indian themed ‘party house’ and the children have loved dressing up, dancing and preparing party food in there.

This morning, the children were very respectful in our special Remembrance Day assembly. They listened carefully and observed the 2 minutes silence.

Rehearsals for our Christmas production have begun in earnest and the children are doing a great job of learning the songs, ready for their performance later in the term.
