We have had a great start to the year and have enjoyed making new friends in our new class!

We were SO excited and proud to be the very first winners of the STAR CLASS award! We won it for lining up so nicely in the playground and for picking up litter around the school.

We enjoyed making pictures about our favourite things and our busy books.

One of the most exciting things we have been doing so far is our Olympics Team Challenge. We have chosen the countries of Australia, Italy, Jamaica, France and the USA and have been working as a team to take part in different challenges. So far we have participated in the long jump, sprints and races, shot put and discus. Team USA is currently in the lead but we have many more challenges still to complete! Lots of teams have also been awarded gold medals for showing great teamwork and sportsmanship. We also researched our countries at home and have been working together to make posters about our countries.

In maths we have been revising our times tables and playing lots of new maths games like Killer, Popcorn, HTU, BUZZ and Last One Standing. We have been revising how to solve vertical calculations and laying out our jotters.

In R.E. we learned about the Hindu festival called Rahki. We made our own Rakhi bracelets to give to our friends or family. We also celebrated the feast of the Assumption and wrote class prayers.

We have been working hard with spelling and reading and completed comprehension challenges. We also had lots of fun playing with the parachute.

We are looking forward to using the chromebooks more in the next few weeks and playing even more with our friends! 🙂
