When they spotted someone doing something kind to someone else they wrote about it on a heart.<br \/>\nThe children were also learning about the importance of praying for other people. We used our hands to help us pray, with each finger representing a different group of people that we should be praying for.<\/p>\n<p>The children have just finished a block of subtraction in maths. They have been very successful in their learning and can subtract confidently from 10 using materials.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"\" src=\"\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/_d_improd_\/IMG_1623_f_improf_205x256.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"205\" height=\"256\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We have new beanbags in class and we love using them when we read books!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/_d_improd_\/IMG_1564_f_improf_219x178.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"219\" height=\"178\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/_d_improd_\/IMG_1602_f_improf_220x176.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"176\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We took advantage of the snowy weather a couple of weeks ago and learned all about water in science.
