London Bridge, erupting volcanoes and the cane!

The Rabbits have been extremely busy this week!  Not only are they rehearsing for the Nativity performance, they have also been learning all about 3D shapes and in ICT they have been improving their mouse control creating their very own London Bridge.

The Dragonflies had a very exciting start to their week, they visited the cinema with year 3 to watch Finding Dory, the children had  a wonderful time.  They have also been exploring volcanoes and will be researching their very own to create a special fact file.

The Otters have made a start to their new topic Crime and Punishment.  They have been learning about life in Victorian schools and what happens if the children were naughty, eek!  There was a delicious smell coming from their classroom this week too, they'd made pineapple upside down cake!

Get your Pyjamas on for Pudsey!

The Rabbits have been exploring their topic of the Fire of London.  They have been baking bread and have used their ICT skills to recreate how they think it must have been in the blaze.







The Dragonflies have been delving deeper and deeper underground!  They have been analysing different rocks, learning the different layers of the Earth and even conducted a Volcano experiment!

















The Otters have made a start on their Crime and Punishment topic and are really keen to learn more!  They have taken their Space satellites home and even went to the Cinema on Wednesday to watch "Capture the flag."  They had a great time and came back bursting with things to tell us!

























Today we are raising money for Children in Need!  The children are wearing their pyjamas and look fantastic!

New topics, performances and delicious Pumpkin recipes!

The Rabbits have made a super start to this half term, they are moving on to their new topic “The Great Fire of London!”  They have already started to learn about how the fire started and are looking forward to finding out more!

The Dragonflies have also made an exciting start to this half term.  They are working hard to perfect their Diwali Assembly that they are performing with Year 3 and have been evaluating crumble in their cooking.  They will soon be starting their new topic “Going Underground!”


The Otters have also been busy with their cooking!  They have been learning about the different ways you can use Pumpkin, they made a delicious soup and the children were very eager to tell Mrs Robinson how delicious it was!


The Riverbank would also like to wish everyone a Happy Diwali.
