World Book Day
We have had an amazing World Book Day!! We went on a Gruffalo trail hunt to find different characters that were hiding in the Quad. Then we went on a book walk on the field and role-played the story of the Gruffalo. At snack time, we had a lovely book picnic on the yard with some of the older children reading stories to us.

Rounding to the nearest 10
Children have been working really hard rounding to the nearest ten this week. They have collected natural items such as sticks and they have measured them. They have then rounded their measurements to the nearest 10. We have also used number lines to support our understanding of place value.
Poetry Residence
We have been really fortunate to work with poet, Cheryl Moskowitz. (http://www.cherylmoskowitz.com/published-works.html)
Cheryl is a leading practitioner in the field of writing and well-being and has been working in schools for 30+ years, supporting teachers and enabling children to explore the magic of words and poetry.
Cheryl worked with us to write a cinquain about places that we find are places of sanctuary (noddfa)
Cheryl is also helping us to produce a Poetry “Zine”.
Poet in Residence
Yesterday, we had the pleasure of working with poet Cheryl. We thought about ‘Sanctuary’ and what that means to both humans and animals. We then went on to thought shower chosen animals, from ladybirds to wolves. Cheryl then went on to put our ideas into a wonderful poem, ‘Not that Different From You and Me.’
