What had an amazing start to the term it has been! Adventure children have been buzzing with excitement, immersing themselves in our new topic of Festivals and Celebrations. This week, we took a moment to remind them of the historical significance behind Bonfire Night - a celebration marking the survival of the king from an assassination attempt long ago.

 Engaged and enthusiastic, the children have been busy crafting their own spectacular fireworks displays. Now, our covered area is decorated with their colourful creations, transforming it into an even more festive space for everyone to enjoy.

Here you can see how hard Adventure children are working on their new letters, h, b and f!

In our math lessons, we've begun exploring various ways to make the number 4, such as understanding number bonds like 2 and 2, 3 and 1, and 4 and 0. As a fun activity, we encouraged the children to look around their homes and discover different objects or items that represent these combinations to reinforce their understanding of number relationships.

In our science lessons, we've been exploring the distinction between living and non-living things. The children enthusiastically participated, leading to the creation of a delightful display to showcase their newfound knowledge.
