English

We read a beautiful story called 'Chasing Rainbows' which is about finding the good in different situations. We had a colour hunt in the classroom and wrote sentences about which colours we could see, we wrote about what we do in the rain and in Autumn, then we made kindness rainbows which were decorated with kind words.

See our kindness rainbows here.

We started our session with a game of 'Duck,duck,goose'.

We then went into our nature area and had a go at making shelters. We had a go at two ways, leaning branches against trees or tying a rope between trees. There was a lot of determination, problem-solving and imagination on display. The shelters were ready just before Storm Amy hit!
