Last week we celebrated World Book Day. We all got to dress up as a character from our favourite books.
This week we worked in groups and started making 3D houses using junk modelling. We are still working on these!
In Science, we had an experiment where we had to test the strength of certain materials. We had to predict what might happen. We made new houses for the 3 Little Pigs out of marshmallows and toothpicks, lego, wooden sticks and blu tack, bathroom tiles, straws and playdough and sticky tape, lolly sticks and building blocks. The Big Bad Wolf (aka The Big Bad Hairdryer) tried to blow down our houses! We discovered that the strongest materials were the lego and tiles because they were sturdy and stable.
In French, we learned the names of some classroom objects. A pen is ‘un stylo.’ A pencil is ‘un crayon.’ A ruler is ‘une regle.’ A pencil sharpener is ‘un taille-crayon.’ A rubber is ‘une gomme.’
In Numeracy, Primary 2 learned a song to help them with their 2 Times Table. They are learning to recall the multiplication facts. Primary 1 were learning to count on to help them add numbers together.
In Literacy, we listened to the story of Steven the Snake. He found it difficult to talk to his friends who didn’t try to listen to him. Steven the Snake drew a picture for them and his friends understood that he was trying to organise a surprise party for his friend Andy the Antelope. We pretended to be Steven the Snake and we wrote invitations to Carole the Crocodile and Harry the Hummingbird to invite them to Andy’s party.
Final quote of the day:

“When we come to school, be happy!” – Angus
