Yesterday we had a visit from a farmer as part of our topic.   Her name was Catriona.  Catriona came to tell us all about being a farmer.  She answered lots of our questions and showed us some of the things that she needs to use to help her look after the animals.

Catriona even brought two little lambs.  The lambs were two weeks old. We were able to see them having their lunch, a yummy bottle of milk.  Catriona has cows and sheep on her farm as well as two horses.  We were able to see photographs of the animals and of the tractors and other vehicles that she uses.

This week we have been focusing on place value and have be reinforcing our skills through the use of different games and activities.

In our Tuff tray this week we have a building challenge based on the story of the Three Little Pigs.  We have a selection of materials and we are working to create a selection of houses for the pigs to hide in.

So far we have tried using wood and bricks, the next challenge is to create a house out of straws.

I wonder what next weeks challenge will be?

This morning we were learning the story of Jonah and the Whale. This is the last Old Testament story that we will be learning about, next week we will be moving on to the New Testament.

This week our Bible focus was on the story of Moses. Adrienne pulled clues out of her mystery box and we had to guess what the story was going to be. Then we had the chance to watch a cartoon clip telling the story before working together to sequence the events of the story. Finally we had the chance to ask Adrienne lots of questions.

We are excited to find out what next weeks story will be!
