Well done to this week’s winners.

At St Stephen's we are always looking to making the curriculum come alive - so we held a Mexico Day to celebrate the 'Day of the Dead'!  This is a very important festival in Mexico. The children looked brilliant and had a great day learning about all aspects of the culture.

Spellings for the week ahead - to be tested Thursday 7th November.

We really enjoyed our first cricket lesson with Tim this morning! We played lots of team building games and then Tim showed us how to hold a cricket bat properly! We just can't wait for next week now! 

Over the past couple of days we have been working with a friend to sequence and retell the events from the Fire of London.

We are designing our air raid shelters as part of out WWII topic.

We have been looking at some of the work of Keith Haring today. He is the artist that we will be inspired by this year!! We've found out that he was a pop artist from America and loved to draw and paint people using bright colours! 

This week’s spellings, please practice ready for your spelling test next Monday. 

As you know, we celebrate diversity at St Stephen's - 'Everybody Different - Everybody Equal'. This morning we learned about Diwali - the Hindu Festival of Light to mark their new year.

Hope you enjoyed having the children 24/7 last week! It's been a good start to Autumn Term 2 - everyone has settled back into the St Stephen's routine very quickly. It's an eight week term and looks like another busy one. Don't forget - Parents Evenings are on Wednesday 6th and Thursday 7th…

Today we have been using chalk to create fire scenes.  We then created a silhouette of London's skyline and added it to our work.  We hope you like them!
