To wrap up the term, we celebrated Valentine’s Day with a fun-filled party! 🎉 We played games, decorated cakes, and even received a mystery delivery from a secret admirer —a rose 🌹 and chocolate 🍫 for every student! But the sender remains a mystery… 🤔💌

In Humanities, our topic is America Road Trip!🇺🇸We’re starting by finding America on the map and learning about Christopher Columbus’ historic journey 🌍.

In our religion lessons, we’ve been learning about different beliefs on life after death. We talked about reincarnation in Hinduism and had fun imagining what we might like to come back as! 🕉️ 

In Science, we’ve been exploring electricity and the different parts of an electrical circuit. We have loved building their own circuits and learning how everything works together to make electricity flow.⚡️

We’ve also been diving into history, learning about what the Black Death was, what caused it, and how it spread so quickly. 🐀 

And of course, as it’s December, we’ve been getting into the festive spirit! One of the highlights was decorating our own Christmas tree, which has definitely added some seasonal magic to the classroom. 🎄 🎅 

We’ve been busy working in groups to order the story of Zog and the Flying Doctors, which has been a fun and engaging way to develop teamwork and storytelling skills. 📖  We've also started our exciting new science topic on electricity! ⚡️ We've been exploring what electricity is, which items use electricity, and learning about the difference between mains power and battery-operated items.🔌 🔋 

In PE, the children have been focusing on athletics, working on team games, jumping, throwing and running. 🏃‍♀️ We’ve also been enjoying regular movement breaks outside, where we love using the trampoline and navigating the trim trail to burn off some energy. 

We also had an amazing trip to Bonington Cinema to watch Trolls 2—we had a blast!🎬🍿

We kicked off the new term in Autumn 2 with a bang! We started by celebrating a very special birthday in Welbeck, and it was a wonderful way to begin the term—especially because of the delicious chocolate cake! 🥳🎂

This term, we’ve started our new book, Zog and the Flying Doctors, and the class are loving it! 😊 After reading the story, we’ve been acting out the characters and adventures, bringing the magic of the book to life.  🐉👩‍⚕️🏰 We also took time to mark Remembrance Day, learning why we celebrate it and creating our own poppies.✨

Welbeck had a fantastic time playing bingo and designing a brand-new spotty mask for Pudsey Bear. 🐻 

What an exciting couple of weeks we’ve had in class! Our little learners really got into the spirit of our medieval theme, taking on the roles of kings and queens.🤴👸 Thy got creative as they labeled a king and crafted a list of all the things a king needs to rule successfully.We had a blast embodying our royal characters, bringing a little medieval magic to the classroom!🏰 ✨ 

In art, we dove into the ideas of scale and perspective. Who knew getting messy could be so much fun? Our hands became our paintbrushes as we created handprints, ordered from biggest to smallest.🧑‍🎨🎨 

We also set off on an adventure to improve Morven Park, which meant a fun trip to explore the park itself. 🛝 Discovering our community is always a highlight!  

Yellow Day was a bright spot on our calendar, where we wore our happiest outfits. We wrapped up the week with a cozy afternoon watching "Inside Out 2," munching on some popcorn, and even had a surprise guest—our very own Pikachu! 🎥 💛 🍿 

As we gear up for Halloween, the excitement is in the air! We’ve been creating spooky cards and pictures for our friends and family, and our pumpkin carving skills have really shone through.🧙🏼‍♀️👻🎃 

Over the past two weeks, we've had lots of exciting learning and fun activities to share with you.

In maths, we've been exploring 2D and 3D shapes, discovering how many sides and corners each shape has.🟠🟧To make it even more exciting, we went on a shape hunt around the school, spotting different shapes in our everyday surroundings! We’ve also just finished our class book, Zog, and we had a blast creating our very own model of Zog. After reading some glowing reviews, I can confidently say it's a must-read, with plenty of 5-star ratings from readers! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

In PSHE, we've been focusing on showing positive behaviors towards one another. We created our "perfect friend," thinking about all the qualities that make someone kind, caring, and helpful.  It’s wonderful to see these qualities not only in our PSHE lessons but in everything we do. One of the class's favourite times of the week is Tuesday afternoons, when we relax with yoga, calming gongs, and even enjoy some massages.🧘‍♀️💆‍♀️
