The children have been working hard this week, learning to use the greater than and less than symbols to compare numbers, and starting our new book SuperMilly and the Super School Day by Stephanie Clarkson. We have also had Explorer time where the children choose their own activities and chalk has proved very popular! From giraffes to planets, inspired by our British Science Week assembly.

We celebrated the National Mental Health Day on Thursday and the children looked very colourful and cheerful in their yellow clothing and hair decorations. It was lovely to see. We will be creating a whole school display and Mrs Ashton-Smith asked the children to decorate a feather. They used wax crayons to create a pattern before applying a watercolour wash over the top. It was very peaceful in the classroom as the children became immersed in their designs.

There is one area of the classroom that is proving popular with some of the children. The maths resources are proving irresistable to the potential engineers or architects in our class!
