This week in PE we have been working on our fitness. There were four stations for the children to work in and they had a minute in each one. Lots of sweaty and exhausted children by the end of it.

Reading in the library
This afternoon we took some time to go to the library to change our books but also to use our beautiful space to read. Nothing better then enjoying a snack while reading a good book.








Multicultural week – Italian
During this weeks multicultural focus we have had a go at speaking Italian. We shared our feelings on Italian and then used a video to help us say foods. I have to say I was rather impressed with some of their pronunciation.
Multicultural week – Italy





This week we have been learning about Italy with it being multicultural week. This also fits in with our expedition because it’s allowed us to explore the country in more detail and discover things such as their food and language.
We really enjoyed learning about the famous dances which believe it or not came about because of someone being bitten by a tarantula.
Case Study reflection



Children took part in a kahoot quiz to allow them an opportunity to showcase what they had learned during their case study. Lovely to see they have retained some of the facts etc about where the Romans came from
Scotty’s – team work


















In Scotties we were working on our listening skills and our ability to work with a partner. It was essential that we listened to instructions so that we could keep each other safe. Lots of sore muscles the following day after all those squats.
Super Readers

Well done to the following children who consistently read at home. In some cases they are reading every single night. It would be lovely to see some more reading records next week. 📖
Reading game
This morning we have tried another game during reading called Rally Table. Children worked in partners to take it in turns to record information we’ve learned during our reading lessons.




Describing the Big, Bad Wolf

Today we were thinking about the Big, Bad Wolf and what he looked like. We started off by making split pin wolves and thought about the different parts of the wolf. We then went on a hunt around the room and looked at pictures of real wolves to generate some vocabulary for our writing tomorrow.
