On Monday we did our weekend news. My news was that I went to my swimming lessons.
Everyday after break we do our Maths. In my group we have been learning our 2 times table.
Every Tuesday we visit the school library. We get to choose a book to take home for the week but we must remember to bring it back again.
Our topic just now is plants and minibeasts. In two weeks time we are doing a class assembly and I’m playing the part of the caterpillar!

Recently in our class we have been learning about Scottish things. We learned a song called ‘Auld Lang Syne’. We also celebrated Robert Burns’ birthday on 25th January by singing ‘The Craw’ song and doing Scottish dances. For our poetry competition we learned a scots poem and the winners were Grace C, Molly and Ben from our class. In art we did weave pictures which made a tartan pattern and we also added a picture of a Scottish plant onto it. The plant is very prickly and is called a ‘thistle’. We made colourful thistles by using lots of different coloured paper.

The competition was judged by 4 independent librarians and the positive feedback has been fantastic. Well done to everyone who entered, the judges were very impressed with the overall high standard of work.
General comment – “Well done to them all. I am most impressed”.
As always, we would love to hear your comments and any ideas you may have for future projects.

Thanks to all parents who sent in their Christmas cards for recycling. We collected a massive 2765 cards. Take a look at our photos below to see how we counted them. We decided to put them into piles of 20 and then count up all the piles at the end. There were soo many that we nearly ran out of space in the spare classroom. All the tables and lots of the floor was covered in our piles of cards. Whilst we were counting we discussed how much money had been spent on buying and posting the cards and how much paper had been used. We reckoned it must have been hundreds of pounds. This made us think about how we could be more Eco friendly with our Christmas cards in future. We came up with some ideas –
Enjoy our slideshow!
