In Art, we have been learning about mosaics. In our final piece, we have been creating our own mosaics. We have enjoyed learning about the Romans and the creating beautiful mosaics.

What has your favourite piece been this half term to create and why?

The whole school has had an amazing time at the smiley reward today! We were so lucky to spend time with Jam the dinosaur, and learn lots about fossils and Science. We also worked in teams to create green screen videos of us with dinosaurs!

Well done to all the children who filled the front of their smiley card to attend!

Today, we had a whole school assembly to celebrate Harvest. Mrs Bain explained that Harvest is the celebration of food grown from the land. We talked about why it is important and how we celebrate it.

Mrs Bain demonstrated making a pizza with the children and explored where all the different ingredients came from. We discovered that some foods travel thousands of miles to get to the UK.

Nowadays, most churches have a Harvest Thanksgiving service. They celebrate this day by singing, praying and decorating their churches with baskets of fruit and food. Harvest Festival reminds Christians of all the good things God gives them. This makes them want to share with others who are not so fortunate. In schools and in Churches, people bring food from home to a Harvest Festival Service. a

As a school, we have collected different foods to share with people who may need some help. We would like to say a massive thank you to all who have donated to our Harvest at Oxford Grove. The food will be distributed to those in need.

Once again, thank you for all the help and support from parents.

Congratulations to the winners of our road safety poster competition who have received the prizes that they have chosen from Argos.
