Hello again. Start off with a quick update on the Eurovision contest that we mentioned last time \u2013 we didn\u2019t win! However, we did have a lot of fun and we were proud that we did it on our own (and in our own way), just our class together, and that we sang the whole song in Spanish. Mr Burns has put the video on Google Classroom for us to show you. Another highlight was the Science Centre trip, and not just because we got to lose Burnsy for the first couple of hours (and got Mrs Burns instead!), but we\u2019ve not had too many trips (Covid etc) so that was good and the Science Centre itself was great fun, dare we say educational and interesting too. We never lost anyone either which was good, if not surprising.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lent has started and you know that some of us are trying to do \u2018Do Without Wednesdays\u2019 \u2013 basically do without a snack at first break on the Wednesdays (fasting) and also where possible to give the money the snack would have cost to our class SCIAF Wee Box (almsgiving). We\u2019re trying to say even more prayers during Lent, praying being the third focus, and of course we have our own Lenten promises which we are trying just to keep to ourselves. We had Ashes in school on Ash Wednesday whilst watching P4 and P6 at church with Canon Eddie and the congregation. <\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been Outdoors three times since last speaking, there are pictures from 2 of them as the weather wasn\u2019t fantastic one week \u2013 Mr Burns was too busy hiding under a tree. We had a go at estimating then measuring and seeing how our estimates matched up, both length and weight. Then the next week we had a go at bigger distances with the trundle wheel, we even talked about speed as a result of our discussions. Just the other day we got Gabriel & Co\u2019s bath toys out (rubber ducks) and made some bird nests. They worked out very well as you can see \u2013 didn\u2019t quite realise that there are so many different types of bird nest styles. Rugby during P.E. currently, can\u2019t wait (neither can Mr Burns by the sounds of things) for the full contact week that he keeps talking about\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

We mentioned our Learning Expedition last time as well and that is going well, we\u2019ve changed a few things as we\u2019ve gone along which is good \u2013 adapting to the situation. We don\u2018t want to give too much away as we\u2019ll be filling you in more on it all at the end of March just before the Easter holidays. Other notable things in class is that during Maths we have been focusing on all aspects of Time whilst also being involved in a set of lesson on Financial Skills provided by Barclays \u2013 we\u2019re halfway through that and it\u2019s good talking about real life and the sort of decisions that will be coming our way. We\u2019ve also been practising our diary writing skills over the last few weeks, focusing on a more informal style, whilst still being technically correct and entertaining. One of the diary entries was \u2018Our First Day at School\u2019 which invited all these excellent photographic contributions which Mr Burns has put together and put up in our classroom. <\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s about it in terms of being newsworthy other than having some major league thinkers on World Thinking Day and also wearing yellow in support of Children\u2019s Mental Health Awareness Week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Feel free to leave a wee comment as usual.<\/span><\/p>\n
