This week Samuel class have been busy practising their assembly, the children can’t wait to share their hard work with everyone. The caterpillars are now in a chrysalis and we are patiently waiting for them to turn into butterflies. The children have enjoyed sharing their hard work and teaching each other about how different animals grow. Below are some examples.

Our Week
This week has been a busy week. We went to Stepney City Farm and got to look at some animals as well as explore the role of a farmer, looking at all the produce grown at the farm. The children got to sow some rainbow chard seeds. Some of our ducklings have hatched, the children have been busy naming the ducklings and predicting how many will survive. In Maths we have been learning about sharing. And in R.E we have been learning about the Pentecost story.
