Our first 7 weeks as Willows has flown by. Although, time flies when you’re having fun!!

Our weeks have been filled with focusing on our English text, ‘The Egyptian Cinderella’, learning all about Ancient Egypt in history and skeletons, muscles and food groups in science.

The children have been kept busy in English and have produced some fantastic pieces of writing. They have put to use their diary and story writing skills as well as writing some fantastic balanced arguments and character descriptions.

In science, we have been learning all about how to keep our bodies healthy, the skeleton and how our muscles work. The children worked together in groups to make their own skeleton and label the bones.

To link with our history topic of Ancient Egypt, the children used coloured art straws to construct their own 3D pyramids. It was certainly not an easy task and got very fiddly! The children worked so well independently.

As a class we held a vote in order to elect our class School Councillor. The children who wanted to be chosen had to write a speech including the reasons why they wanted to be councillor and the things they would do if they were elected.

Here is our class councillor:

We have been lucky enough to have Lenny, our school dog, come over to Willows for maths lessons up to 3 times a week! He is a very good boy and the children are great with him.

How cute is he?
