This week with Mr N, we started our Yoga unit. We explored a range of different poses and positions as well as listening to our breathing. The children formed poses around sea animals. We had the dolphin, seal, turtle, jellyfish, starfish and boat.
Josh continued to teach us about control and the importance of changing directions.
RE
Our religious belief this term is Islam and we are focusing on compassion. As part of this, we discussed how Muslims’ God is named Allah and he is the creator of all things. We should, therefore, show compassion to everything that Allah created. We explored four stories, each one about a different animal: dog, cat, ant and bird. We created one of these animals out of playdoh and imagined it was real. We thought about the compassion we would show for it. We then listened to each of the stories and discussed what should or shouldn’t have happened.

This week in our English learning we explored some writing tools called the FANTASTICs. These help us to think carefully about the different things we need in our writing to help add detail and quality. I was so impressed with how the children approached this task, thinking about the setting, theme and genre. The children all discussed their ideas together and thought about sequencing it in their own way.
