This morning we had a visitor who came to tell us all about money. We explored the different coins and talked about the introduction of the new £1 coin. Then we talked about the cost of different items and the importance of saving.

Today the minister came to talk to us about the Bible and to tell us about some of the stories that it contains, including the story of Jericho and the walls being brought down. We had loads of interesting questions that we asked and we enjoyed the video clip that she shared with us.

Today we had fun taking part in a range of numeracy activities in our groups.  We worked together adding and subtracting carrying out different calculations.  We looked for right-angles around the school and during the whiteboard activity.

For our literacy activities we used magnetic tiles, the listening centre and the computer.  We worked on our tricky words and sounds.  Working in pairs and small groups we were able to help each other and share our ideas.

As part of our transport topic we made cars using paper plates and tissue paper.  We cut out wheels from black sugar paper and used silver paper for the windows.  Not forgetting yellow tissue paper for the lights!

This term we are looking at different types of transport and also exploring technology. To combine the two Ms Galt and Mrs Sobocinski issued a challenge to the class to design and create their own vehicle using their own choice of materials.

There were so many creative creative ideas from pirate ships to space rockets with everything in between!
