Class Update

It has been an exciting week for us! Our classroom has been painted and we moved back into it this morning, just in time for Pudsey day.

We spent most of the week in the play area, a little treat for us. Here is what we have been up to:

We are learning about people who help us with Miss Smith. We have been learning all about what police officers do and how we can contact emergency Services.

In maths, we have been looking at comparing weight, using vocabulary like lighter / heavier and lightest / heaviest. We used cubes to measure how many cubes different toys weigh.

We had our first achievement assembly this week and celebrated everything that we have achieved in school and at home. Well done to everyone!

We had a great time doing some Pudsey activities today. We decorated our own Pudsey, did a Pudsey workout and listened to a Pudsey story. The best Pudsey even won a prize and we had the runner-up for the lower classes in our class – well done Mia!

We have been learning all about hedgehogs this week. Next week, we are planning to go into the garden to do some planting and we would like to build a hedgehog hibernation box with help from Maidsafe, too. The children have been fantastic at learning hedgehog facts and we painted, drew and made our own hedgehogs, too. We really improved our cutting skills as making our hedgehogs was quite a challenging job.

Primary 1s created their first description story last week and continued practising their writing this week. Primary 2s are also working on writing descriptions. When we were not working hard on writing and maths, we developed our skills doing different activities around the play area.
