On Wednesday we joined with the rest of the school in a commemoration assembly for Queen Elizabeth who sadly passed away last Thursday.

We then went outside and spent some time learning about scale and created some scale pictures of the Queen having studied a profile picture of her from a stamp. I am sure you will agree we made a tremendous job using sticks, stones and cones to create these.

In the afternoon we enjoyed some jam sandwiches, shortbread and a wee chat about our experiences of the royal family before starting on some grid art and pop art pictures of Queen Elizabeth.

Writing

We worked in groups to investigate how to enhance descriptions in our writing. We used pictures to stimulate discussion and created some fantastic pieces of writing as a result. The buzz in the class as we worked together was immense.

Star writers from last week were proud to receive their certificates and we heard one of them read out her story to us too.

 

PE

Outside for PE this week we started sharing some of the games we have been creating in our groups. We worked on stamina and accuracy this week and really enjoyed teaching and learning from each other.
