Fun Friday

What a busy day we have had today!

We started off this morning completing maths tasks: the Rubies were continuing their learning about addition and carrying numbers, the stars were working with Miss Cairnie calculating money and the diamonds were dividing with remainders. We all worked very hard and completed some excellent maths work!

After break we had out first music lesson with Miss Carey. It was a little bit different to normal because she taught us over the computer but we still enjoyed learning about the beat and completing the tasks.

After lunch we then completed some handwriting practise and joining up the letter e. It was tricky but we stayed focused and wrote some lovely words.

To finish off the day we then had science. We are learning about materials and this week we were learning all about gases. We looked at the molecules in a gas and how they are different to the molecules in a solid or a liquid and we learnt lots about gases. Did you know that you can’t always see gases but you can still smell them?! Then we got to make our own pop up toys using syringes, pipes and cups. We had to put gas in one of the syringes to make it work!

Rainforest Floor

We are learning all about the rainforest for our topic this term and today we were learning about the different layers of the rainforest and then focused specifically on the rainforest floor.

Did you know that only 2% of light actually reaches the rainforest floor and therefore it is very dark?!

We were also learning about the different animals that live on the rainforest floor and we have started a spectacular wall display to show all the different layers and animals such as the giant centipede and burrowing worms!
