Jack: this week we have started looking at poems, and we are working towards writing our own Autumn list poems. We spent some time looking at a variety of poems about Autumn, looking for the adjectives used to describe different items in Autumn. Jack was a whizz at this, he was able to spot all the adjectives in the poem, and think of his own to describe different things - autumnal items, such as leaves and weather.
Archie: in RE, we have been talking about Harvest and why we celebrate this. Archie was able to offer an exciting insight into this, sharing with the class all about why the farmers harvest at this time of year, and how they are now beginning to plough the fields. He used his real life experiences to talk about the machinery that is used, and what happens to the food harvested each year.

Rowan: we have watched Rowan grow in confidence. When she first started in Year 1, she would seek support and reassurance, but this week she has really blossomed. It is lovely to watch her settle into a task and use her own ideas and strategies to work her way through it. She will independently find manipulatives and resources such as number lines and sound mats to help her, and is starting to offer more ideas on the carpet. We are loving Rowan's positive attitude towards her learning.
Alex G: has stood out for his ideas in Science this week. We have been testing the properties of materials, and sorting materials based on their properties. Alex was able to sort the materials appropriately, and he used his super science vocabulary to describe the materials. He was able to spot when materials were placed in the wrong sorting hoop too.

Ramos: is a shining example of the St Anne's values and rules. His manners are exceptional, he is helpful, kind and considerate. You can always rely on him to be doing the right thing, and if you need someone to help you with anything, he is the first to volunteer. He shows his friends respect, and will encourage many people to join in with his games. He should be very proud of the way he conducts himself at school, as he has been a superstar this week.
Beatrix: has stood out for her hard-working nature. Whenever it is time to complete a task, she is keen to take part and often says how much she loves doing the jobs in class. She isn't afraid to ask for support where she needs it, and she accepts any challenges. She also stands out for her manners and respect, which she showcases constantly in school. She has been a fantastic role model this week.
