During our walk around Eckington last week we noticed there was lots of litter on the playground. So this week in PSHE we learnt about why litter is dangerous to animals and then we made litter posters to stick up in our windows to remind people to put litter in the bin.

This week we enjoyed one of our cultural days learning about the country and traditions of Greece.

We made flags, enjoyed Greek food and dancing, tried writing some Greek letters, decorated vases with Greek patterns and learnt about Greek gods.

This week in English we have been writing letters to the giant in Jack and the Beanstalk. He sent us a letter asking if we knew who took all his things.

We focused on our letter formation, learning about short letters, tall letters and tail letters.

This week in PSHE we talked about being kind and caring. We created our class friendship tree. Each of us wrote our name on a leaf and then we drew a fruit or flower which showed how we can be a kind friend.

Welcome back to school and welcome to Squirrel class! The children have all had a super first day. We wrote postcards of our holiday to Sammy Squirrel. Then in the afternoon we did some super science. We learnt why it is important to wash our hands with soap. Then we learnt what happens when you mix different things together…we made a volcano!
