Children in Need

We had a great time supporting Children in Need this year.  Our theme was "Be a Hero" some of us came as our favourite super hero and some of us arrived dressed as our personal hero.

We were very busy with cakes and flapjacks to eat, money to count and Pudsey Bear activities.  Here are a few photographs of our day.

 

 

 

 

 

Keeping Safe

We have been thinking about all the ways grown ups keep us safe.  Here are some of our ideas.

Keeping safe at school:
 
* Fire alarms
* School rules - like not running inside
* Lock the outside doors with special locks
* Head counts


Keeping safe at home:

* Locking windows so we don't fall out
* Using fire guards and telling us not to touch
* Holding hands when we walk
* Teaching us how to cross the road
* Home rules - like staying away from the oven
* Locking the doors before we go to bed

Homework Project

This half term we will be learning about life and objects in the past as part of our history work.  Today we started by thinking about our own history and had a go at ordering the important events in our lives.  These included being born, walking, our first day at nursery and learning to ride a bike.

Then we had a think about what other important events might happen to us as we grow up.  We thought about leaving school, going to university, learning to drive and even getting married but the most exciting question was “what will we be when we grow up?”  Now Miss Farrar and Miss Atwal are still wondering what they might like to be when they grow up so they would like some help!

We would like the children to work with their grown-ups to decide what they would like to be when they grow up.  They could draw or paint a picture of themselves in their job, make a poster to explain what they would do in their job or create a presentation on the computer (needs to be on a disc or USB stick to be shared with the class).  We would like to know why they have picked that job, what they think they will enjoy about it and what special things they will have to do in their job.

How the children present their ideas is really up to them but after all the wonderful Me Box work we are very excited to see what they come up with!

All homework should be bought to school on Monday 8^th of December ready for presentations all that week.

Free Gifts

We have enjoyed sending gifts to less fortunate children through the Operation Christmas Child Event and it has made us think about how it feels to receive a gift.  We all agree it feels really good and we have decided to give lots of people some gifts that cost us nothing.  Have a look at our photos and see if you could give someone a free gift too.

You could give a smile

 

You could give a high five

 

You could hug your family

 

You could say good morning
