The children have been finding out about the Hindu festival of Diwali. Diwali is the Hindu festival of light. The children used their reading skills to read and follow instructions to make diva lamps, lanterns, elephant decorations and Rangoli decorations.
The children have been busy looking at what foods make a ‘balanced diet’. They worked in groups to create a healthy lunchbox.
With Remembrance Day approaching, the children have enjoyed looking at the artwork ‘Field of Poppies’ by Vincent Van Gogh and creating their own artwork. The children have used a variety of materials to create their own poppy field artwork.
The children are looking forward to taking their artwork home to display as way of commemorating Remembrance Day.
Year 1 and Year 2 pupils have enjoyed designing and making their own pop-up moving story books in groups.

Children worked in groups to complete a STEM Challenge. Each group was given 20 cups and they had to work together to construct the tallest tower. They thought carefully about the positioning of their cups and they worked hard to make a strong base for their tower.
The children have really enjoyed working in groups to collect natural materials to make a birds nest for the birds in our woodland area. They thought carefully about the materials they chose and how they would construct the nest to ensure that it was strong and warm.
The skeletons wanted to know more about Knighton. They asked us if we could make models of human and physical features in Knighton. We used 2d and 3d shapes to make our models.
The skeletons wanted to enter a dance competition and they needed our help to teach them a dance routine.
We worked in groups and performed our dance for the rest of the class to judge.
The children have been busy measuring in standard and non-standard units.
They have also been reading high frequency words and finding them in their reading books.
