Welcome Back to a New Half Term!

What a fantastic start we have had to our new half term! The children have returned full of enthusiasm and excitement, ready for another busy and exciting few weeks of learning.

This week, we have been introduced to our new artist in art, L.S. Lowry. We have begun exploring his artwork and learning about his distinctive style, looking forward to creating some of our own Lowry-inspired masterpieces!

We have also enjoyed celebrating Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Light. We were very lucky to welcome a special Hindu guest into school, who shared the origins and meaning of Diwali with us. The children listened beautifully and learned lots about the traditions and celebrations associated with this special festival.

In English, we have started our exciting new class book, The Hodgeheg by Dick King-Smith. We are already looking forward to discovering more about Max the hedgehog and following his adventures!

It has certainly been a wonderful first week back, filled with creativity, cultural learning and exciting new stories. We can't wait to see what the rest of this half term has in store!

Have a lovely weekend, everyone!
