Comic relief
Today was Red Nose Day. Â We wore red to school and made our faces and hair funny! Â Primary 3 started our fun day with their fabulous assembly when at the end we all sang the funny face song and took a whole school selfie!
Next we did some writing about comic relief on paper that had lots of red noses. Â We drew brilliant pictures of our funny faces!
In the afternoon, this weeks Oscar winners in P1 and P1/2 painted Mrs MacDonald and Mrs Nobles faces! Â One of the primary 2’s in Mrs Nobles class painted Mrs Woodwards face.
After that we designed our own red noses!
we ended our day with going to the bake sale.
What a fun day!!

Jam Sandwich
Yesterday in class Daryll made a jam sandwich! He wasn’t just hungry, it was so that we could see exactly what he did then we wrote the instructions for what he did.
when we write instructions we need to make sure we tell the reader exactly what to do. We use time words to tell them the order to do each instruction.
We are also always trying to remember our core targets; capital letters, finger spaces and full stops!
Smelly play dough
Today we did another experiment. Â We made play dough but each group made their play dough smell different. Â It is important when doing an experiment that we only change one thing. Â Today we changed the smell.
one group made mint smelling play dough. One group added cinnamon to change the smell and the last group made lemon smelling play dough.
The smells were not strong but we could tell the difference.
The cinnamon one smelled strongest.
Taste
Today we were learning about different tastes. Â The four different tastes are sour, sweet, salty and bitter.
first we tried sour. Â We had lemon, grapefruit, sour skittles and sour rainbow belts. Â Sour made our faces laugh and scrunch up. Â We liked the sour sweeties but not the lemon or grapefruit.
We tasted crisps with no salt and crisps with salt. Â We liked the crisps with salt best.
For bitter we had some dark chocolate. Â Some of us liked it and some thought it was just ok!
For sweet we ate some honey which was tasty. Â We also had some normal milk chocolate.
We voted for what flavour was our favourite:
Sour – 8
Salty – 3
Bitter – 4
Sweet – 4
We made some funny faces when we were tasting today!!
Directions
We are learning to follow directions in maths. Â We have been learning forwards, backwards, left turn and right turn.
we use the bee bots to practise, the gym hall and we learned a left right song in music!
we have to program the bee bots. Â That means we give it a few directions and it follows them.
in gym we gave each other directions to follow.
Apples
Today at fruit time, we didn’t just eat our apples, we used our senses to talk about them first.
Touch – some words we used to talk about what it felt like were hard, smooth, cold.
Sight – red, circles, spheres, shiny.
Smell – sweet, nice, juicy, fresh.
Taste – juicy, crunchy, sweet, yummy, delicious, nice.
Sound – they sound crunchy and are noisy!
Apples are healthy and good for you!!
Sound walk
We went on a sound walk inside and outside to listen for all the different things we could hear.
Before we went, we made listening ears!
We had to be very quiet to hear everything.
We heard some very quiet noises and some loud noises.
We made a list of things we heard inside and outside. Â We have out a picture on but our list didn’t fit on one page!
We heard a siren and a plane when we were outside. Â Teachers knocked on the window very loudly while we were outside!
We heard the radiators and scissors cutting inside. Â We heard lots busy people in school. Â Children were working and teachers were talking.
