We have just finished reading The Boy at the Back of the Class by Onjali Q'Rauf, and the children absolutely loved it. We are now writing diary entries and have had a lot of discussion about what being a refugee is, and what it would be like to be in a new country. 

In Maths, we have just finished learning about fractions and are moving onto decimals. The children are doing really well. 

Our class have been working really hard on quizzes, so far this term we have taken 58 quizzes - which is great! On top of this, all of the children have moved up in their accelerated reader levels. Incredible!

We have started reading our Christmas text, The Christmas Pig by J. K. Rowling, and we have just finished part 1, which was brilliant. 

We are getting ready for a fun few weeks leading up to Christmas, and Mrs C is just finishing getting our advent calendar ready for the children. 

The children have settled so well this term, and it has been a real pleasure to teach them.

Some of our children celebrated Diwali, also known as Tihar, with their families. 

Well done to everyone for all your hard work this week.

Fireflies enjoyed a blustery day in the park looking for signs of Autumn. We spotted colourful leaves, sycamore seeds, conkers, grey clouds and felt the cold wind on our faces. We had fun catching the leaves as they fell from the trees!
