Weekly Update 5.11.2021

Pear Class have had a good first week back at school after the October half-term break. I have been especially impressed with how quickly the children have settled back into our classroom routines.
This week we had a visit from Northern Art Factory who ran a Great Fire of London dance and drama workshop. The children pretended to travel back in time to the Great Fire of London; moving through the city and across the river Thames, before finally using scarves and ribbons to represent the flames of the fire. The children really enjoyed this session and could recall a lot of facts about the Great Fire of London. Please take a look at our photos below!
In English we have read our new book; The Emperor of Absurdia and the children have described two of the characters from the text. We also discussed the difference between books set in familiar settings and books set in fantasy settings.
We have also started learning some of the songs for our Christmas Performance. Dates and more details will follow shortly...
On Friday 12 November, Guiseley Library will be giving away free comic books, appropriate for all ages, if you are interested in collecting some for your child.
Today we have sent home our first piece of homework - please make sure that this is returned to school by next Thursday.
I hope you all have a good weekend and enjoy Bonfire Night.
