History
Toys from the past!!

What a fun topic this was!! We have been taking a look at toys from the past and comparing them with toys we have today. The children carried out interviews with their parents and grandparents, which in turn brought about great discussions in class.We were introduced to the concepts of 'old' and 'new', and we all described our favourite toy. Thanks to everyone who took part in the interviews and for sending in some terrific toys!



Check out some of our photos!!

Autumn Art!

Our  Vibrant Autumn Art!!

We created an Autumn tree using both real pressed leaves and leaf templates. We had great fun painting the leaves using all the Autumn colours. A sprinkle of glitter was added too for that extra bit of sparkle! As well as that we all came up with lots of words that best describe Autumn.
