We have heard about Nintendogs and played them on the DS. We had to look at dogs and then buy them. We had to teach them their names. Some people thought it was easy and some people thought it was hard! We had to teach them to sit but some were stubborn, wouldn’t listen and wouldn’t sit! We made some fabulous profiles for our pets. We have enjoyed playing with our faithful pets. We started making a dog animation on the computer. We had to work with a partner. We are thinking about making a pet shop in the corner of the classroom.

We heard about the lighthouse keepers lunch and we’ve been learning about it. We made some cheese and jam sandwiches and ate them! We made some seagulls and hung them on the ceiling. We made Mr Grinling’s lighthouse light work. We worked as a team to light the light. We put a battery in the battery holder and then we got two crocodile clips and clipped the two sides of the battery. Next we connected them to the screws on the bulb. The bulb lit up.

The giant visits P2S
We received a letter from the giant (from Jim and the Beanstalk) telling us that he had sat on his new glasses. He asked us to make him a new pair. We each designed our own pair for him and he chose which he liked best. We then made him a gigantic pair of fire glasses (designed by Olivia) and left them for him.
