This week has been an exciting week at Carr Mill. We have celebrated Children Mental Health week and were all awarded VIP this morning by some very important visitors! We have each been given a special badge to wear with pride on our school uniform to recognise our hard work earning the gold mental health award. This week we have also thought about our islands of personalities, thinking about what makes us special and what are passions are. We also took part in some mindfulness activities including a yoga session and colouring.

In maths we have been learning about 2D shapes. We started the week with a shape hunt around our classroom and can now describe the properties of some shapes; talking about how many vertices and sides they have.

In English, we have written instructions to create a sandwich for the tiger from the Tiger who came to Tea. We came up with some fantastic ideas and also worked hard to follow some instructions, making our own jam sandwiches!

We ended our week with a walk around the local area in geography. We had a lovely time looking for human and physical features around our school and worked hard to follow the map.

Next week is our final week before the half term. We are having an art week! We will be using lots of different mediums, including paint, crayons, charcoal and oil pastels, to create tiger pictures.
