This week the Puffins have been preparing to write a non-chronological report for English based on Light and Dark. First they identified the features of a report and now we are using a variety of ways to record facts on light and dark.
Today in circle time Puffins discussed our value word thoughtfulness. We spoke about times we have shown thoughtfulness to others or others have shown thoughtfulness to us.
Well done to all these children for moving up in Number Clubs this week. Keep up the good work.
This week in science the Puffins have created their own shadow puppets and were able to use a torch as the source of light to create them. The learnt all about why and how shadows are created.

The children took part in a lesson all how we use different light sources everyday and they children created a puppet show using shadows.
