Poppy day
This week we have been thinking about Poppy day. A special box appeared full of poppies and this prompted our collaborative thinking about what we know about poppies and why we sometimes wear poppies. The children were then challenged to ask their own I wonder poppy questions and create lots of poppies using art materials, loose parts and play dough. They then drew a poppy on a wooden disk and we created a class poppy wreath on the tuff tray for remembering.

Harvest Festival
On Monday 23rd October we welcomed families to our harvest festival in Church.
Frank Nicholls, Church warden, opened our service.
Class One then performed the Apple Song.
Class Two sang the Big Red Combine Song.
Class Three read a harvest poem.
Class Four gave harvest thanks.
Then Class Three and Four performed a Harvest piece which contained ostinato.
The children then brought their harvest donations to the front of church while Luke played What a Wonderful world on the piano.
All the schools’ donations were given to Bishop’s castle Food bank.
The school sang and signed, using Makaton signs, The Harvest Samba.
Our service closed with words and a prayer from Frank Nicholls.
