Today we practiced some symmetry skills and had great fun! We explored symmetry in nature using mirrors (some of us even tested out our own faces), painted symmetrical butterflies, worked together to create a symmetrical block image and as a class we managed to answer almost 350 symmetry questions correct on the active board!!!

On Friday we put all of our practice using the ‘make do’ to good use and made some robots! We used the safe saw and push pins to create our very own moving cardboard robot friends.

Today in PE we started our gymnastic block, practicing a forward roll, pencil roll, balancing, running, jumping and climbing!

Here’s some lovely pictures of some of the things we have been getting up to over the last few weeks! We watched a Robert Burns story and learned all about how to write a recount of that story. We revised how to use full stops in our writing – using jelly tots! We also learned all about tally marks, we decided we wanted to find out the class’s favourite flavour of ice cream so we used a tally chart to help us. After that we put all of our tally mark data into a bar chart. We have been visiting the maker space and learned how to cut using the make do safe saw. We also learned how to attach and detach cardboard using split pins and make do screws. Finally, we got a new active board! Here’s Eilidh and Musa trying it out during some phonics.
