It has been a busy but exciting first week back at school! What has been brilliant is that the children have participated together in several activities and events. Great teamwork!

Monday started with Parliament Week. The children read a story about a class who visited Parliament. They explored the role of Parliament, who works there and the difference between the two chambers (House of Commons and House of Lords). This session was followed by a quiz which the children thoroughly enjoyed. They also wrote on an outline of a body an issue that concerns them and then we ended with a discussion (debate) on some of the issues.

During the week, the children had the opportunity to each paint a pot that had been made by a year 3 class. This was to assist and support the upcoming Diwali trail on Monday 13th November. The pots looked bright and colourful. Even Mrs Scott said they looked great. There’s definitely lots of budding artists in this class. Well done 2H!

Finally, the children were involved in preparing for Remembrance Day. They drew around their hand on red paper. The paper hands were used to create a class poppy. The week ended with a short visit to the hall where Luca placed the class poppy next to the cross and Neela read out a poem. The class stood with the rest of key stage 1 in silence for a minute to remember the importance of having peace and harmony in our world.
