Bluebirds

This week, Bluebirds have become Historians! We have been using photos as our primary source to find out about the impact that Nelson Mandela had on children and society in South Africa and also learning about the impact of the work that BEFSA do.   In gymnastics,we have practised travelling using different body and also learnt how to perform a forward roll.  While we were getting changed for PE, we also watched videos of professional gymnasts to inspire us before our lesson!  Wednesday was our WOW day to launch our new project, Keeping Christmas with a focus on RE. Unexpectedly, we received a letter from Owl, one of the characters in our much loved Class Reader series, Meg and Mog.  HE was feeling sad as he had never had a birthday party and so we celebrated Owl's birthday with a fun party, joining in with an owl themed Pass the Parcel with the prize being a mouse, of course!  Our Wow Day will start to help us draw similarities between our understanding of celebrations nowadays and the celebration of Christ's birthday in religious terms.
