Today we had a visit from Dawn who works at SSPCA.  We found out that SSPCA will rescue every animal from domestic to exotic. They will also try to rehome animals.

Did you know it is against the law to be cruel to animals?

We pretended to be judges and guessed at what punishment should be given – banning the person from having animals, jail for 1 year or £40,000 fine.

How do you know when a pet needs rescued?

you will hear them bark, howl, scratch at walls or door, strong smell coming from the house.

Dawn told us the SSPCA will put cello tape on the door to see if someone is coming to the house. If the cello tape is not broken they will phone the police and ask for a warrant to rescue the animal.

Thank you Dawn for all the information today, we enjoyed playing snakes and ladders and remember to call 03000 999 999 if you see an animal needing help.

Congratulations to Zoe for her fantastic work on plurals.

Here are our results – Didn’t we do well

What an exciting day we had today.  We used the cooking trolleys in the school and made Christmas tree cakes and decorated them.  It was great fun even after our disaster with the round tray.

          

As part of our RME we have been looking at traditions in the run up to Christmas.  We were inspired to create our own Christmas trees using finger painting, glitter and sequence.  It was great fun, some even ended up in our hair.

   

Today as part of our science with Miss McAuslan, we were challenged to eat 3 dry crackers in 1 minute. We thought it would have been easy, we were wrong.  We learned that saliva is a watery liquid secreted into the mouth by glands, providing lubrication for chewing and swallowing, and aiding digestion

 

 

Today during science with Miss McAuslan, we were learning about the digestive system.  We carried out a very messy experiment to show us the process from the mouth to the intestines.  Let’s just say we looked at our playtime snacks in a different way.

    

Today our lessons with Miss McAuslan were all based around helping and caring for one another.

This morning we were giving advice to a number of fictional characters – here are some of our examples –

“Little Bo Beep why not try and use a tracking device for your sheep.” Libby and Zoe.

“Incy Wincy, why not move to a hot country where it does not rain” Carla and Imaan.

“Little Red Riding Hood, next time try taking the subway and get your Gran to lock her doors.” Joseph and Nathan.

After playtime, we watched a clip about Jesus helping a blind man to see, we used this as a stimulus to summarise a time when we helped someone and enjoyed sharing our kindness with our friends in the class.

Today in French we created a matching game using the french words for various pets.  We invited p6b to join us and play our games.  We had great fun.

 

 

 

We are using our problem solving strategies to work out a variety of problems.

Why not challenge us at home????
