Wow - Look at our Lettuces

Look at how well our lettuces are growing after a weekend of heavy rain, followed by a beautiful 24 degrees day. 

The Long Jumper

Today we watch some slow motion video footage of long jumpers. We were amazed at how far they went. It looked like some of them were running in mid-air.

Tiddler Stories

We have been reading stories by Julia Donaldson.

We really enjoyed the story about ‘Tiddler’ the story telling fish. Tiddler was always making up stories to explain why he was late to school. 

We pretended that we were Tiddler and have written our own stories to explain why we were late. Tiddler would be very proud of our stories.

Super Writing

Ameile found a bird's nest when we were training for the cross country. Today we looked at some video clips of birds making their nests. We think they are very clever.

Jack and the Beanstalk

We have been reading lots of fairytales this term.  Last week's big book was 'Jack and the Beanstalk'.  We wondered how the story might have changed if Jack had swapped his cow for something other than beans.  We brainstormed lots of different ideas and then began writing new stories. Click on the book below to read different endings.  We have 'Jack and the Magic Shoes', 'Jack and the Magic Carpet', 'Jack and the Magic Wand, and many more exciting twists to a well known story.

All About Me Posters

We have been finding out about each other.  Our 'All About Me' posters tell our class mates a few things about ourselves:- our favourite colour, food, sport and animal.  We have found out that many of us like the same things.  We are going to create a pictograph to share our findings. Keep an eye on our blog to see what we found out.

Our First Day Back

We had a super first day at school.  

Look at the cool sunglasses we made.  If you look at the pictures in the glasses you will see some of the highlights from the holidays.
