On Friday we gathered in the hall with the other Year 1 and 2 classes for a short Remembrance assembly. We had made poppies during the week in class using red pencils, pens and glitter, adding them to a field of grass.

In Science this week we have been learning about the properties of materials. We spoke about hard, soft, rough, smooth, shiny and dull. The children moved around the room and found objects that matched these descriptions.

We have also been talking about UK Parliament Week with the children, explaining what parliament is and what the MP’s do there. The children were then asked what the issues are that they feel passionate about and drew these in an outline of a person. They had lots of brilliant ideas including caring about nature, the environment, their community and recycling.
