A Busy Fortnight

This week we have been talking about Fairtrade as its Fairtrade Fortnight. We have spoken out the farmers in the poor countries and how we know if an item is Fairtrade or not. We changed the Struay shop and Post Office and it now sells Fairtrade products. Johnny brought some Fairtrade things in for the shop and Adam made a fantastic open and closed sign.


We have started making on our island on the wall. We made houses and painted trees using sponge painting. We even made 3D houses to put on our 3D island. It was much trickier than it looks!!  We even know that the flat shape you get by cutting along the edges of a 3D shape is called the net of the shape.

We also played in the Post Office, look at our super postman!

We have been doing lots of time activities and learning our numbers to 100. We are all brilliant at it. We can even add up in 10’s.

Our new sounds are ‘ow’ and ‘ou’. They both make the same sound but are spelled differently!!!! It’s so strange.

We’ve had the bookfair at school this week and we all got some books. We had the chance to look at all the books every afternoon. There was so many to choose from.

Finally we had our red nose day disco. You can see how much fun we had from the photos

  1. I really enjoyed the disco last Tuesday. I danced with my friend Rachel and we had crisps and juice.
    It is good to help raise money for people less fortunate than ourselves.

  2. Eilidh you are correct, we are all very lucky in our class and we sometimes forget how unfortunate some people are. It’s great that we can have fun and help raise money for these people at the same time. I think you deserve 3 raffle tickets for this blog!

  3. I am also having fun reading the Katie Morag stories. What has been your favourite story so far Ellie?

  4. I really enjoyed when it was our busy fortnight and I liked being in the Struay Post Office. I have told my Mummy all about Fair Trade products.

  5. Mrs Horner I am going to miss you, when you go to your new school, Thank You for all your help.

    You are the best teacher in the whole world

    Love Ellie xxx
