St Cuthbert’s Day

Today we celebrated our school saint, Cuthbert. We listened to a story about his life and then worked together to decorate St Cuthbert crosses.

Measuring

In maths we have been learning how to measure different objects. We started by using cubes and paper clips to measure the objects and then learned how to use a ruler correctly and how to read a ruler. We had to remember when recording measurements to put cm after the number.

World Book Day

We took part in lots of different world book day activities, we wrote character descriptions of the different colours in the story, ‘Mixed’. Then we created marble pictures using blue, red and yellow and watching which colours mixed together.

Glockenspiels

In music we have been learning how to play the glockenspiel, we took it in turns to play different notes.

What do animals eat?

As part of our science lessons we learned about what animals eat and if they were carnivores, herbivores or omnivores. Miss Davidson told us what each animals diet was and then we had to sort and group them.

Making Levers

Today in our moving pictures topic we made levers. Miss Davidson read us the story ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ and then we used split pins and card to make a moving lever to show Jack climbing the beanstalk. The split pins were very tricky but we are all very successful with our moving picture creation.

Children’s Mental Health Week

As part of children’s mental health week we listened to the story ‘The Invisible String’ and then drew pictures to show the people we love and who we are joined to using invisible string,

Super Sliding Pictures

In DT we have been learning about moving pictures. Today we learned about sliders. After listening to the story ‘The Gingerbread Man’ we made sliders to show the different characters chasing the fox. It was very tricky cutting the middle out for the slider to work but we were all persevering parrots and had a great go.

Safer Internet Day

To celebrate safe internet day we played a bored game to find out what to do when different people needed our help. One thing the children needed help with was what to do if we saw something we didn’t like on the internet and we learned that we should tell a trusted adult and they could help us.

Number Day

To celebrate number day we took part in a quiz against Miss Davidson. If we got the answer right we won a puzzle piece and if we got the answer wrong Miss Davidson would win a puzzle piece. Luckily for us we got all of our answers correct and won ten puzzle pieces. Then we had to find the puzzle which Miss Davidson had hidden around the classroom. Once we found all the puzzle pieces we had to make the puzzle as a class to find the key for our new friend Buddy can help us with ways to keep ourselves safe.
