As Winnie the Pooh was heard to sing in the 100-acre wood “ Spring is when the world awakens.” It has been wonderful to see all the children running around on the grass without jackets on and soaking up the sunshine.

The enthusiasm has filtered into the classroom. We have been thinking of ways to help ourselves and others in our PSE/RE lessons. We listened to the story about Elijah and the widow, Elijah makes the widow a promise to help her. The widow feeds Elijah the last of her food, after which her jar of flour remains full amidst the current and future famines.

We have focussed on how we find ways to relax at home and school, sharing ideas that have helped in PSE. World book day has brought much excitement to the classroom, thinking, and planning our costumes to go with our favourite books. It has been a great celebration of literature really bringing our characters to life.
