Advent Week 1
02 Dec 2021
The children have been very excited to start the countdown for Christmas. We have been opening our Advent calender everyday and we have had a lovely time making cards for charity. Although, it has been a very exciting week, the children have all worked very hard and we are very proud of the work they have done this week.

This term, Mrs Donaldson has been teaching us each Friday morning and we have enjoyed our PSHE, P.E. and Computing lessons with her.
We particularly enjoy our ICT lesson. It’s fun to work on the computers and we like to help each other.
In English, we have finished our work on Meerkat Mail by writing a postcard. The children have worked very hard to plan this piece of work, thinking about what makes a good postcard. The children decided that they should include four sentences, one on where Sunny was, a sentence on the food there, one on weather and a final sentence describing how Sunny was feeling. After we had created some success criteria, we began thinking about adjectives we could use in each of our sentences. We wrote these down on a mind map to help us with our writing. This week, we very carefully wrote our postcards. We used our planning to help with our writing and produced some lovely pieces of work. We have really enjoyed writing our postcards and the story of Meerkat Mail!
In Art, we have been sketching anatomically, focusing on animals. We have began using books to help us with our drawings. We used the pictures of animals to help us with our drawings. The children have had a lovely time exploring chalk this week, as well as charcoals. We concentrated very hard, looking at the shape of the animal first. Once we had the outline, we added lots of detail using a variety of tools, shading, charcoal and smudging.
We won't be having a structured time for sharing over the next few weeks as we prepare for our carol service but if you have got an achievment to share, please let us know.
We have also worked hard on our singing and acting skills this week. In Guided Reading, we learnt about playscripts, and we read a playscript about a very special story. We are very excited about sharing it with you, at the carol service on Tuesday 14
th at 3pm!
Have a lovely weekend!
