Playful Practicing Pandas

What a busy week Panda Class have had this week. We began by welcoming a new little boy into our Class this week and we hope he has started to feel settled in his new environment and is beginning to make some lovely new friends. Panda Class are a very friendly bunch and are super at looking out for each other. 

We began the week marking Anti- Bullying Week by wearing ODD socks and celebrating differences;  we paused on Tuesday to think about those who gave up their lives for us in the Great War and we ended the week wearing our PJs to support Children in Need. 

In English we continued to use the book Where the Poppies Now Grow to help us imagine what it might have been like to be a soldier in the war, fighting in the trenches. The children needed to write in the first person, use the past tense and include details about how they might have been feeling.  We were so impressed with their lovely diary extracts and how determined they were to use more challenging words.
