In the Active Learning Zone we have been practising measuring too. We had Funnybones bones and we had to compare them with each other, order them and decide which was the longest and which was the shortest. We talked to Mrs Munro about how we did during the activity and decided ourselves how we thought we did too.

We also played with orange Playdough and made our own spells. We had to make minibeasts and creatures to go into our cauldron. We even got to wear witches hats to help us make our spells.

In the classroom we did lots of pumpkin measuring activities. We had to use cubes and see how many cubes it was to the top of the pumpkin. Once P1/2 were finished with the pumpkin it is now on the Autumn table. We will be watching it’s progress as it begins to decay. This will be our next Science experiment. We will need our gloves and goggles on for this one!

In the ICT suite we have been learning how to use a program called Pivot. This is a first look at animation. We learned how to move the stick man, change his colour, make him smaller and bigger, add a background and add other stick characters. Some of us needed more practise at this as it is really hard to grab hold of the Pivot stickman and make him move. We are getting really good at practising these skills in the Active Learning Zone too. Lots of us have been trying out Pivot on the Promethean Board and the computer to get better at moving the stickman. Well done us!
