A colourful week!

Hello again everyone!

This week has been so full of colourful and fun!

We continued with our topics on time, and began to think a little more about poetry.  The poem we are focussing on involves a beachcomber searching the beach, and finding curious objects each day.  On some days, they just find very ordinary objects, however they question where it might be from, who left it there, what it might become...  Perhaps, this weekend you could try picking up an object, and thinking how it could be curious too!

After a week of not much activity from our little class pets, yesterday and today we began to see our butterflies emerge from their cocoons!  We managed to watch one as it emerged and first opened its wings, which was fascinating!  We now have 5/9 butterflies emerged, and by Monday we are hoping that they all will have emerged.

On Friday, we celebrated 'Rainbow Day'.  This was to celebrate diversity, in all sorts of ways!  In Oak class, we looked at a book called 'My Shadow is Purple'.  It illustrates how there are more than 2 choices to how we live and what we like.  We can like both boy and girl things, and don't have to be one or the other if we don't want to.  We thought about what colours our shadows might be, and (thanks to some expert coaching from an Oak class origami master) we created colourful stars which show all the different things we could be.  We also made a rainbow cake!  We thought about how on the outside we look like one thing, however on the inside we are full of different, wonderful qualities.

It's going to be a hot one next week, Oak class!  Please make sure you have a water-bottle everyday, and ideally a sunhat too.  Please also apply suncream before school starts.  This needs to happen particularly on Friday next week (15th) as we are planning to hold our sports day then!

See you all on Monday!
