We learned how to make our own portraits. We read the book ‘The Colours of Us’ and found out that there are a vast range of skin tones. We then learned how to draw the proportions of the face and were given the task to mix the tone to match our own skin using just red, blue, yellow, black and white paints.Â
We learned about portraits and used our skills to reproduce a sketch of Samuel Pepys. We learned about the Great Fire of London, and read parts of the diary written by Samuel Pepys to find out what happened to people living in London during the fire.
During our Great Fire of London topic, we found out about life in the 17th century. We learned that buildings were made of wood with thatched roofs, which is why they burned so easily. We then compared them to modern buildings in London.
We have been looking at the Christian story of creation. We learned that Christians believe that God made the world in seven days.Â
We learned about the Hindu story of creation and then compared it to the Christian story.Â
We enjoyed the Harvest Festival at Fleggburgh Church. We enjoyed learning a new song with Rev. Phil and made breads which we then shared with our families back at school after the church service.

Emerald class listened to the nativity story. We were able to link the story of the first Christmas to our school play and our reception children enjoyed acting out the story in the Christingle service at church.Â
We made Christingles for our Christingle service at Fleggburgh church. We learned about what all the different parts symbolize.
This term we are learning about places of worship. We took time to reflect on our own ‘special places’ and what things we like to do there.
This week we learned about the Jewish place of worship and discovered that it is called a synagogue.
It was a sad day when we all said a fond farewell to Mrs Church, our executive head, as she left to enjoy her retirement. We cannot thank her enough for all she has done for the school and wish her a happy retirement.
We held our traditional Christingle service at Saint Margaret’s Church Fleggburgh on the last day of term. Diamond Class retold the Christmas story with the help of the Reception children an everyone made their own Christingle.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas dinner. Thank you to Mrs Buckingham for making our delicious lunch.
The whole school took part in our Christmas performance of Bethlehem ‘s Buzzing. Every pupil had at least one line and everyone said the acting and singing was amazing!
The Years 1 and 2 have been developing their understanding of what Information Technology (IT) is and discussing where it can be seen. They have explored the benefits of IT in the wider world and role played how devices can work together in familiar places such as shops. They also considered how to use IT safely and discussed the different rules that might be associated with using them.
