Our Local Area with Flat Stanley

We have been investigating houses and homes in our local area with Flat Stanley.  This week we went out with Mrs Campbell to take some photographs of houses around our school, made collages of our own homes and during our Walk on Wednesday we looked out for examples of street furniture and took more photographs. 

We are also drawing maps of the route we walk from school to home.  We are doing this for our homework this week.  Flat Stanley was bit worried that he would forget how to get to our houses if he was ever invited back for tea!!

Is Flat Stanley looking for a new house?

The Invasion by Archie

Archie wrote the following story at home.  He read it  out to us in class and we though it was really good so we decided to publish it on the blog.  Mrs Stewart is hoping to start a writing blog for our class after the holidays.

One sunny day on Planet Earth lots of strange things started to happen.  There were alien  spaceships in fact.  Then monsters were falling from the sky.  All the people were running away screaming.  The monsters were walking through the houses.

The planes were zapping the people into dust and the dust was turning into nothing.  The monsters were tugging the people’s heads off.  Then Superman came to help them.

He was picking up the monsters and kicking the  aliens spaceships.  The monsters were back in the sky and the aliens were walking back to their spaceships.  Superman had saved the day!

Visiting the Lifeboats

Today our class took Flat Stanley to visit the RNLI in Arbroath.  We learned about the important work that the  dedicated volunteers of the RNLI do to save lives along our coasts.  Stanley was very excited because Allan, the lifeboat mechanic, had made him a special suit for his visit.

You can see the video of our trip over on Flat Stanley’s Blog.  The link is on the left of the page.

Ready for an emergency!

Getting arty!

We finished off our landscape pictures complete with sheep this week.   In our lesson, we learned that the line where the land meets the sky is called the horizon and we also talked about perspective.

 We hope that the parents who came along on Wednesday evening enjoyed looking at them.
