Today we celebrated Advent day, to get ourselves ready for the coming of Jesus. As we created a wreath with our handprints and finger prints, we made promises about what we were going to try and do during Advent to become closer to God.

We then created wreaths with Mrs Fox. We spoke about the importance of the candles and as we placed them into the wreath discussed what each week meant. We then looked at the meaning of the holly and fir and the wreath being a circle that never ends, just like God’s love for us.

Year One became weather forecasters today; they looked at the weather expected over the next few days and wrote weather predictions based on weather which would be normal for this season. The children then found Coventry on a map of the United Kingdom and after watching a weather forecast tried it for themselves.

They were able to perform their group-planned weather forecast and tried their hand at some actions as well!

Today in Art we looked at primary and secondary colours, we had a go at mixing these colours together to make a colour wheel that we could use to help us to know which colours we would need to mix together to make purple, green and orange in future lessons.

We spoke about how some colours were warm and some were cool colours. We then thought about how in certain pictures we may want to use certain colours to give ideas as to what message we are trying to get across.

Thank you for your support with Children in Need this year. The children looked wonderful in their spots, dots and yellow clothes. We looked at the work that the charity completed and asked God for his help for these people who work so hard, we also prayed for the children that need the charity’s help.

We were very surprised to receive a visit from Pudsey bear himself and his friend Blush! We were so excited and happy that they took time out of their busy schedule to come and see us and say thank you.

This week we have been looking at 3D shapes and discussing how we can identify a 3D shape. We found 2D shapes in their faces and found 3D shapes in our environment and everyday objects. After going around the school on a shape hunt we then had pictures of different objects and we had to decide whether they were sphere, cuboids, cubes, pyramids or cylinders.

Today we celebrated odd sock day in aid of Anti-bullying Week. We spoke about how we all  have differences and these differences are wonderful things that should be celebrated.

We had a prayer service about those that find accepting differences hard and praying for those that make wrong choices.

We then designed our own odd sock and celebrated how wonderfully unique they all were just like us.
