At Hollywood this week we have been continuing learning all about castles. P3 and 4 made a humongous castle in the classroom for the role play corner. P1 and 2 made castle pictures using paper, and our cutting and tearing skills, with Mr. Parkhouse. We have also started building some castles outside – with sandstone!! They are going to be big enough for people to fit in. We have been working in 3 groups – hopefully enemy castles won’t attack us. We now know lots of facts about castles. Zak has learned that there were 2 different types of motte and bailey. Ethan learned that they had to build castles by hand. Logan knows they didn’t have any flushing toilets! Hayden learned that the servants in the castle didn’t even get baths – they had to go in the river!
We are excited about making shields and swords next week, and maybe finishing our castles. We are also going to visit a real life castle.

Robert The Bruce And All That
This is a spine tingling adventurous book. If you read this book there will always be a surprise waiting for you around the page! If you don’t know who Robert the Bruce is, he was a brave war hero who also became king on New Years Day 1306 25th March. This date may sound like it is all wrong but in Bruce’s day the Scottish calculated the dates from something called the Julian calender and New Years Day was on 25th March.

Spelling Letter To Spiderman
To spiderman
I hear that you suffer from arachnophobia. I will advise going to the pharmicist to get tablets or if you have physical problems get physiotherapy. It might be a phobia. Its a phenomenon to speaking to you.

Dinosaurs Rule!!
P1-4 have been learning about dinosaurs. We made a play about how dinosaurs became extinct. We made paper mache dinosaurs. We made habitats for different dinosaurs in trays using sand and dirt and twigs and stones from outside. We found facts about different dinosaurs and we even wrote stories about them. Some dinosaurs were carnivores and some were herbivores. Kye’s favourite carnivore was the spinsosaurus. Hayden’s favourite herbivore was the ankyosaurus. Ryan liked the brachiosaurus. We really enjoyed learning about dinosaurs, thanks Kye for suggesting the topic!
