Although the weeks seem to by whizzing by, our learning certainly isn’t showing signs of stopping. This week we have been introduced to a new poem, “The Spider and the Fly”. Firstly, we listened to the introduction of the poem, which posed lots of questions and filled our minds with ideas about the poem, the characters and what might happen next. After this, we then watched the first part of the poem and compared our thoughts now that we could see the characters and the setting. Today, the children have been great detectives as they have investigated the crime that was/ has been claimed to have been committed by the spider.

We have also had the absolute joy of spending Monday morning with Mrs Curtis and a wonderful art lesson! All of the children loved spending time creating their clay creations. It is just wonderful to see the children explore new materials and use their imaginations to be creative. Well done everybody!

In PE this week we have continued to practise our bat and ball skills. The children are gaining great confident when batting a ball to a partner… we have had some great rally’s, along with lots of encouraging words to one another… so much so that the whole class were awarded the PE stars this week.

On Friday the children also found out the wonderful news that Mrs Lyons will be their teacher next year! The children will absolutely flourish under Mrs Lyons wonderful lead and we cannot wait to welcome her into one of our lessons next week! I know that she is also very excited for the year ahead!
