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.

What Our Teddy Bears Got Up To Last Night .....

Thursday night was the last night our teddy bears spent at school. We suspected they might get up to mischief and we were right. They had a party!   When we arrived at school today there were streamers and balloons all around the place and our teddies were sound asleep on the cushions.

The teddies had a party with streamers and balloons. They played games. The teddies gave mum an e-mail.     By Saul

When I got to school the teddies were having a party. Me and Saul played with them, then everyone came to room six. It was fun.  By Niko

The teddies had a party. They put up streamers and balloons. I think they played musical cushions. I think they played limbo.   By Ellie

I think that my teddy told the other teddies that it was my birthday today.  I had a surprise when I came into the classroom because there were balloons and streamers.      By Niamh

We Love Baking!!!!!!

Today Room 6 was turned into a bakery. We made some yummy Gingerbread men to share with our Room 5 and Room 7 friends.
They were delicious!

While the Gingerbread men were cooking we did some practical measuring tasks.  We used Gingerbread men pictures to measure the height, length and width of objects around our classroom.  We had to make an estimate (a guess) before we measured. 

Just for fun - have a look at what these Gingerbread men are up to....
