On Monday, we did our assembly! We performed Giraffes Can’t Dance and it was fantastic! We got lots of great feedback from the other classes and from the families. We then wrote a newspaper article about it. We looked at a newspaper article to find the features and came up with the Steps to Success. They included a headline, an 4W introduction, WOW words and openers.

In Numeracy, we have continued to learn and practice strategies for subtraction. This week we used a split strategy and some children moved on to subtracting 3-digit numbers.

In French, we learnt some of the French words for things in the classroom, like table, chair and computer. We labelled a picture of a classroom and then had to show someone around the room, showing theme where things were in French.

In PE, we did circuits and Scottish dancing. We learnt the Military 2-Step and and the Canadian Barn Dance. We managed to do a progressive Canadian Barn Dance too where you change partners as you go. We discussed why we learn Scottish Dancing in school. We decided that it was fun and helped form friendships plus it is part of Scottish Culture. Our new topic, is Scottish Traditions and Cultures. We learnt some Scots words and the children also performed the Scots poems that they had learnt. From our class, Lochlan, Victor and Orla are going to perform for the school on Monday! Congratulations!
