Over the past couple of weeks we have been talking about toys as part of our Who Am I? Topic. We brought our favourite toy into school to talk about and we talked about toys we had when we were younger. Next week we are going to talk about toys even further back in the past. In art we looked at portraits, realistic and abstract, and talked about which we liked and disliked and why. We had a wonderful European Day of Languages on Friday and especially enjoyed being served by Year 6 at the French cafe!

This week we read the story Once There Were Giants and we talked about how we have changed since we were babies and toddlers. We sequenced pictures of people at different stages of their lives. We found out about captions in English and we wrote our own captions to go with a picture of a toy we like. We added an adjective to our caption to describe our toy. We had our first sessions with Shine and we found out about different types of toy through music and movement.

Class 3 have settled in so well and have worked really hard this week. In English we have been finding out about signs and labels. We went for a walk around school to spot signs and labels and then we made some labels of our own. We labelled items in the classroom and also in the community garden. In Maths our focus has been sorting and we have been labelling the things we have sorted. We launched our new topic Who Am I? And talked about things we remember from the past.
