In class we are learning about Easter and have printed our own Easter pictures. We saw Primary 3’s assembly this morning and thought it was very good, and we did our spelling check today and we all did really well!

We have been very busy this week!

We finally finished our hamster houses and we really liked getting to build them in our groups. We have been making goldfish bowls in Art and some of them are up on our good work wall. We have made flower pot table decorations, look out for them on Saturday at the Fairtrade coffee morning!

Our mums and dads came to see Miss Martin and Mrs Leishman for parents night this week, and we got really good reports!

Our Pets Topic So Far

We are really enjoying our pets topic, we have been building our hamster houses it is really fun!

We have had a dog and a cat come to visit us, we asked their owners questions and we heard stories all about them.

I am looking forward to meeting parents and guardians next week for Parents Evening. If you have returned an appointment slip, you should now have your appointment time. Unforunately, there are no more available appointments for Wednesday Evening but there are appointments available for Thursday, please contact me for more information.

We are sorry we did not write our blog last week, Emma and Faye were off and we didn’t want to do it without them.

The past two weeks we have been working on our two times table, they are easy! We will be moving on soon.

Dog’s Trust came to visit us and we met a nice dog called Alfie.

We took part in Future X and we liked the Hunger Games game the best.

We have been using our Go Noodle account and our new champion is Bart Reynolds.

We made up cat characters and wrote poems about them.

We have been using our smart board to play games to help us with our times tables and pets topic.

Our school disco is next week and we are very excited!

Pets we looked at,

We looked at mammals, we looked at reptiles, we looked at birds, and we looked at amphibians.

Thank you for reading and commenting on our blog.

This week in class we have been:

• sharing the types of pets we have or would want
• making and counting sets in maths
• writing invitations to our Burns party

“We have just started doing gymnastics in gym, and we are doing reading, maths and lots more. We want to put pictures of our best work on our blog and clips of us doing our work.

We are the cool school and Balmalloch is the best!”
