A bean growing competition, a visit to the Mosque and an amazing performance!

Yet another busy week for the children in the Riverbank.

The Rabbits have been role playing one of their favourite stories "Jack and the Beanstalk," they have enjoyed it so much that they have challenged the whole of year 1 to a green bean growing competition!  We will check back in a few weeks time to see who has been able to grow the tallest, most healthiest green bean.  Let's hope there is no grumpy giant at the top!

The Dragonflies have been getting out and about visiting the local Mosque in Oadby.  As part of their RE topic this half term the children are learning about the special Muslim pilgrimage to the Hajj.  What better way to further their learning by visiting the Mosque.  The children learnt a lot about what Muslims believe, how and why they prey and why the Hajj is such an important journey.  The children have also been using a story to analyse a character.  They have been analysing the big bad wolf and also the little pig who made his house out of brick.


A super exciting week the for Otters!  This week they were able to showcase their acting and singing talents in their Great Green Adventure performance.  The Otters and the year 4s did a wonderful job highlighting the importance of being greener and how we can all do our bit to help the planet.  The Otters have also been making Rainforest cookies in their cooking lesson.
