The ceilidh was super fun we were having the best night of our lives.

In maths we have been learning more addition strategies and some subtraction strategies.

We were learning fact triangles.

In literacy we have been learning new phonemes and also some descriptive character writing about the Night Zoo. We had to write our own character description. We used core targets, similes, adjectives, adverbs and paragraphs.

Yesterday we went on a fun trip to the Titanic Exhibition. We met members of the crew and saw the hull, the funnel and the pulley from the ship. One woman was playing cards when disaster struck and the cards were on display. Women and children got on the lifeboats first. When it was sinking the weight of the water in the ship broke it in half. We had an excellent day and learned lots of facts about the Titanic.

Happy Pirate Day 🏴‍☠️

Happy Talk like a Pirate Day! Arrrr… 🏴‍☠️
Look at our lovely crew of shipmates.
Here’s this week’s highlights!

Place value perfection! This week everyone completed their place value assessments and did absolutely amazing, showing Mrs Connell what they’d learned. A very proud teacher indeed.

We learned about synonyms and used a thesaurus to find words. Boiling, warm, burning and roasting are so much better than hot. Prehistoric and ancient are so much better than old.

On Tuesday, we learned about discrimination. Mrs Connell asked us to put post its on to different people. They said things like ‘I want to go university’ but we found it hard when we didn’t know the people. We learned that’s what discrimination is.

Have a lovely long weekend and see you all Tuesday.
