Our Class is a Family

This week we have read the book ‘Our Class is a Family’ by Shannon Olsen. The book explores community and how, because we all spend so much time together, our class can feel like a family too.  The children have painted self-portraits to display in the classroom to show what their new family looks like. We have taken part in some circle time activities, where we talked about our favourite things, respecting each other and being kind. We have also painted/drawn pictures of things we like to decorate the class with. We started Phonics this week, which is very exciting! The children are practising reading and writing the new sounds they have learnt.
