Art

We have been painting pictures of daffodils.

We also learnt about colour mixing the colour purple for Lent.

RE

This week we have been discussing how Lent is a time to help others. We read the story of Penguin and Pinecone and recognised how he cared for the pinecone. We compared this to Lent.

We read the story of 'The Good Samaritan' and discussed how he cared for the man - We made suggestions to a discussion about who we would care for at school or at home.

Bring Yer Wellies

What a fabulous time we had on our class trip!

We had great discussions about plants and what they need to grow and how to care for them.

We planted our own oregano - Look after it, there will be a home challenge in a few weeks about it.

We took part in den building, boat racing and even explored a 5 tier wormery!
