Autumn 1

Transition Week.

For our first week back we read the book Almost Anything by Sophy Henn.

A lovely, inspiring book about not being afraid to have a go at new things. 

We talked about our new class and the journey ahead of us. We know that we will be faced with new challenges but just like the character in the book, George, we wont be afraid to have a go and we'll have fun trying new things. 

In the story Almost Anything, George is given a magic hat by his friend bear to help him try new things. 

We know we don't need a magic hat and just like George we have magic in us that will help us on our journey through year two but we had fun making our own magic hats to remind us. 

For our art lesson this week we decorated our own Peacock feather which will form a whole class display.
