Friendship Week

What a lovely week it has been in school for Friendship Week.  The children enjoyed lots of different activities at playtimes thanks to our school Friendship Ambassadors including friendship bracelet making, a disco and sharing books about friendship with younger children around school. 

In class, we used the friendship between Artful Dodger and Oliver to write about our friends.  They were so touching and wrote such lovely words to their friends about why they 'Consider them their mate!'  We were also inspired by 'Food Glorious Food' to write recipes, but not for food but to tell us what makes a good friend.  I know many people enjoyed seeing this work from Friendship work during our exhibition on Thursday.  It was lovely to see the children proud to share their work around the classroom with family and friends.  And finally, in PE, we used the theme of friendship and relying on each other to develop sequences of different balances with our friends. 

Creative home learning was given to children on Friday.  For those who may have already lost their paper in the depths of their school bags, it was to look at some of the famous inventions that were invented during the Victorian times.  Then for them to think about 'If you were an inventor - what would you make?'  They can show or tell me about their invention and I am sure there are going to be some very imaginative inventions indeed! They have until the week of the 5th of December.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend,

Mrs McMillan
