The Gingerbread Man
We have started our new Talk 4 Writing topic today and our book is The Gingerbread Man. We read the story and then made our own gingerbread men and hoped they didn’t run away! If you have this book at home it would be really helpful for the children to hear at home too.
Bonfire Night
Today in Orange class we have been learning about Bonfire Night. We have thought about what we might see, hear, smell, touch and taste at bonfire night and written poems about this. We have also thought about how to keep ourselves safe when there are fireworks and then made our own rockets!

We were very lucky to have Homegrown Farm visit us again yesterday. We saw alpacas, a cow, two emus, some rabbits and ducks! Orange class loved petting the animals and asking lots of interesting questions.
