We are back to doing some more work on multiplying and dividing and learning the facts in some more times tables.  This week we have started focusing on the 2 times table, and will build on this with the 4 times table and possibly the 8 times table before we stop for our Christmas holidays.

On Wednesday the whole school visited the Palace Theatre in Kilmarnock to get into the festive spirit.  We really enjoyed watching their pantomime ‘Snow White’.

Our French lessons just now are focussed on learning the vocabulary for colours.  We are really good with these orally so we are now trying to recognise these when they are written in the French language.

   

This week we have started reading a class novel rather than reading in our groups.  We are reading ‘Horrid Henry’ and have really enjoyed the first short story in the book.  Miss Hunter challenged us to create a character description of Henry using our prior knowledge of the character and what we learned about him from reading this first story.

   

We have also been using the internet to research a country that has been taking part in the World Cup.  We discussed facts that we could find out about our chosen country and then made notes on what we found out.
