Busy times!
Posted: Nov 13, 2017 by: admin on: What's been happening in Adventurers & Investigators.
We have had an incredibly busy couple of weeks in Adventurers and Investigators!
We were very excited for the visit from the helicopter on Monday, and spent some time trying to draw and label it following the information we gained from the Navy experts!
We also spent all of Friday morning learning about why Remembrance Day is so important. The children had lots of fantastic questions such as "Why did the war begin?" and "Why do we wear poppies?" We watched some clips showing the Cenotaph, a 2 minute silence and what the football game would have looked like on Christmas Eve between the trenches. The children discussed how they might have felt if they had been there, and it warmed my heart to hear replies such as "It made me feel happy because although they didn't speak the same language, they could still be friends". Children are amazing!
Which leads me on to Anti-bullying week. We began today with an assembly from Mr Killoran introducing the week, and the children already have lots of questions and ideas for activities.
Both classes are becoming experts on different animals for literacy and as part of our Deadly 60 topic. We will be creating posters will all of our facts and then swapping classrooms to see each others work. The Investigators are currently learning all about sharks and we already know some very interesting facts-please ask your child for more info!
We look forward to seeing you all at parents evening this week to pass on the wonderful things your children have been doing.
See you then!
