Summer 1 Adventure

The Wonderful Westwood Wedding!

This half term is all about acceptance, kindness and love. We will be learning about how different countries and cultures celebrate weddings and we will be challenged with organising our very own Wedding, we will all have a role to play including cake making, flower arrangements, song writing and dress designing. We will be learning about families and relationships and talking about who is important to us. During the half term we will be visiting the church and understanding that the church is an important place to Christian families. We will also spend time respecting other religions and looking at weddings in other cultures.

Not forgetting performing our very own ‘Wonderful Westwood Wedding’ in the final week and you are all invited, keep an eye out for your invitation.

Life cycles

Last half term we have began learning about life cycles. After reading the story 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' we talked about what happened within the story and how the caterpillar got bigger, then made a small house for himself called a 'cocoon'. He stayed in his cocoon for 2 weeks and eventually he nibbled a hole out of his cocoon and he came out of his cocoon as a beautiful butterfly. The story then helped us to talk about the life cycle of a butterfly. 

When we returned after the holidays the butterflies had hatched out of their cocoons. It was very exciting. We kept them in the net until they were strong enough to fly away. We then went to release them in the school grounds.
