Beatrix Potter update

What a half term it has been. I personally can't believe it has already been 7 weeks since those first nervous steps were taken into school by our amazing new Beatrix Potter Class. This week we have been learning our story the Little Red Hen ready to tell all by ourselves. Along with this we've been learning all about the wonderful harvest time we are currently in, seeing lots of tractors heading past and planting out some of our winter veg into the class garden.

In the build up to our first ever speech day we have been learning all about plastic pollution and how this affects us both on the Isle of Wight as well as globally. We've rescued some sea creatures from the perils of plastic waste and talked about how we can each make a change.

As ever play is our main vehicle for learning with structures of all shapes and sizes springing up all over the show and mark making galour on display on every surface imaginable. We've also taken our first steps on our path to becoming lifelong readers with our weekly reading books heading home for everyone to share.

Now it's time for two weeks of rest and fresh air before we start the run into, dare we say it...Christmas. Before then we have lots of special events happening in class and surprises to share so keep asking those never-ending questions "What was the best bit about your day?" or "What awesome thing did you learn today?".
