This week we are celebrating Remembrance Day & Children in Need.

At the beginning of the week we visited the cenotaph to lay a handmade poppy wreath. We listened to music from the era of WW2, counted poppies and made poppy collages.

At the end of the week we celebrated Children in Need. We read we’re going on a bear hunt sensory story, counted bears and went on a Pudsey Bear hunt around school.
