This week the class room has had a spooky flavour to it. Below is a picture of Alannah, Amelia, Brooke, Coco, Lexie, Niamh, and Ruby dressed for Trick or Treating on Thursday. The disco on Friday also had a Halloween theme and there are some great pictures up on the school Facebook page.

Thank you to Mrs Pelham for organising this. The children have enjoyed visiting the book fair and listening to stories from other teachers this week. We also had a surprise visit from Clifford the Big Red Dog on Friday.

On Monday we came to school dressed as our favourite book characters. Everyone looked fantastic! Lily and Coco represented us in the Year 2 finals and Lily won first prize for her Mary Poppins outfit.

T3W4 update

The highlight of our week has to have been making sock puppets to practise our fabric & fibre skills and to use in the class puppet theatre. Thank you to all the parent helpers who came along on Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday to help with the stitching and gluing - we couldn't have done it without you.
Everyone is very excited and the puppets look amazing. Noah was our papparazi this week and took some great photos of our sessions.

Congratulations to Neo, Lexie and Amelia who were awarded certificates at Assembly on Thursday and to Neo and Niamh who have earned their next stickers in their reading logs.

Mondrian Inspired Art

Last week we learnt about the artist Piet Mondrian (1872 - 1944). We looked at images of his paintings and then created our own in a similar style.

Big Day Out at Clip 'n' Climb

What an awesome afternoon we had at Clip ' n' Climb this afternoon. Thank you very much to all our parent helpers who came along and helped; we would not have been able to get so much climbing in without our help checking harnesses and belay attachments.

Some reflections on our Big Day Out;

Holly - I went up the walls lots of times.
Neo - I tried three times on the rope and ball wall to complete it.
Nick - I was proud when I got into the hole in the rock wall.
Lily - It was hard but I managed to do the dark chimneys.
Ella - Today I tried my best to get right up to the top of the coloured square wall.
Thomas K - I was pleased that I climbed to the top of the timed wall and pushed the button.
