As part of Friendship week, we invited our friends from year four to come and read with us. It was lovely to see the children sharing stories and enjoying each other’s company.

This week in Forest School, we collected leaves to make our own firework pictures. Look how amazing they turned out? We cannot wait to see Base 2’s pictures next week.

Today, we had a visit from the Nurse to talk about dental hygiene. She brought her friend Derick with her. We talked about how to brush our teeth. We learnt that we need to use a pea sized amount of toothbrush, brush our teeth for two minutes in the morning and at night and that we need to spit the toothpaste out and not rinse. The children also decided which foods were good for our teeth and which foods were not. We were amazed to hear that tomato sauce has lots of sugar in it! Your child will have come home with a toothbrushing chart today. It would be great if they could fill them in and bring them back after half term!

On Monday we had a visit from Father Stuart! He came to talk to us about Harvest festival, what it is all about and how Christian people celebrate it. The children listened really carefully and talked about their favourite foods.
