Wenzel Class began transition week by designing class logos, inspired by the many bright and beautiful animals in Brendan Wenzel's book 'Hello, Hello'. The children thought carefully about why it is important to show responsibility at school and volunteered for their new Active Citizen roles. Once allocated, it was great to see how keen they were to begin! Y1s have had plenty of opportunities to become familiar with their new classroom and corridor, and how to get to different places in the school from here. We have been so impressed with how well the Y2s have helped their new classmates, showing resources and explaining routines.
The second half of the week delved deeper and created an author profile on Brendan Wenzel, whose colourful and imaginative books have delighted our students. His work, especially "They All Saw a Cat," has inspired us to see the world from different perspectives, much like the various senses we explored in our first science lesson.
In science, our class dived into an engaging lesson about the human body, focusing on the five senses. The children had a great time labelling body parts and understanding how each sense helps us interact with the world. This hands-on activity was a perfect start to our year, sparking curiosity and excitement for learning.
Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we continue to explore and learn together!
