We had a fantastic time at Sports Day. Here are some photographs having fun and competing.

We won lots of prizes and Murran won the award for amazing sportsmanship, she really showed us what it was all about!

Millie – I liked it when we did the long jump.

Noah – I liked that Oscar went very fast.

Ryan – I liked running fast.

 

 

This week we have been painting beautiful watercolour pictures for the art exhibition. Here’s a sneak peak of some of our masterpieces.

We have also been continuing to work on developing our speed and accuracy when answering addition and subtraction questions. Our first target is to work within 10 (eg. 5+2, 9-2) and then 20 (eg. 6+6, 5-1). We have been writing answers to questions on our whiteboards, hiding them and then showing the teacher all at the same time.

In technology we are gaining confidence working on the laptops. Today some pupils from P7M came to support us to use Paint. After today’s lesson we can now-

• log on
• open the Paint programme and create a picture
• save a file
• log off and shut down
