I hope everyone had a good time at the Cinema Night yesterday. By all accounts it went well. The Student Council will be meeting to talk about what to do with all the lovely money that was collected so we'll be waiting for Faisal to tell us about the wonderful things he'll be buying!
Today we had a very interesting visit from Max and Hannah, two babies from the creche. They came to the hall and we had a chance to ask Mrs White, their nanny, questions about what they do, what they can't do, what they eat and all sorts of other things. I think everyone thought that they were very cute and we also discovered a lot of specific information which fitted in with what we already knew. Next we'll need a much older person to talk to so if anyone has a spare grandparent hanging around, let us know!

Young And Old
We're starting our new unit of study now. It's called 'Young and Old' and in it, we'll be finding out about the differences between young people and old people: how we look, what we can do, what we wear, where we go. We'll also be looking at how things have changed around us since our grandparents were young, or perhaps even before! Do we play with the same toys? Is school still the same? I know mine was.
Thanks to everyone who has already brought photos and other objects in to show the class. I know everyone is very interested in learning about other families and I know they'll treat everything with respect and care. However, please do not send anything in to school if it is completely irreplaceable. Sometimes accidents do happen and things can get lost or damaged.
On the side you'll see a new list of websites connected to the things we'll be learning about over the next 8 weeks. Please take the time to look at them. Let me know what you think and if you find anything good yourself, let us know.
On the subject of websites, particularly related to this topic, please kids, be responsible when you are web-surfing. Let your parents know what you are looking at, sit with them and talk about the things you finding out. The internet is a great place to find out about lots of things but sometimes it shows us things we didn't want to see.
