We used carrots, cucumber, tomatoes and peppers to make our funny faces.  After we all finished making our funny faces we ate them up.  We have been leanring that we have to eat 5 vegetables or fruits every day.

Here are our favourites:

Carrots: Caiden, Benjamin, Ryan, William, Lewis, Conor, Klea, Ewan and Andrew

Cucumber: Daniel, Rebecca and Eva

Peppers: Aiden, Adam and Niamh

Tomatoes: Erin, Jason, Dionne and Ayva

We enjoyed tasting all of the lovely vegetables this afternoon.

Springtime is here now that it is March. We know that it is spring because we can see flowers growing and lots of little creatures coming out.

Last week we decided to create some spring artwork. We created our very own snazzy snails. We had a paper plate and we had to stick squares of tissue paper onto the paper plate to make the shell. We used some green paper to make the body and we used straws to make antennae.

This week we made pictures of spring tulips. We had to put our sponges in the paint to print on the sky and the grass. We used forks to print the shape of the tulip flower. We didn’t believe Mrs Noble when she told us what to do but it worked and we think you artwork looks great!

Andrew – It was very fun and I liked puting the paint on the forks.

Erin – I enjoyed puting the tissue paper on the snazzy snails.

Klea – I liked puting paint on the paper with the sponge.

Ryan – I liked puting on the straws to make the snails and I liked sticking on the multicoloured pieces of paper multicoloured pieces of paper. .

This week we have been copy cats in our gymnastics learning. We had to work with a partner to create a routine and do it together at the same time. We were jumping, rolling and balancing with our partners. We had to be like a mirror image.

We figured out that it was easier to jump at the same time when we counted. We jumped on the count of 3. We also worked out that we had to talk to our partners to tell them what we were thinking to make this task easier.

It was good fun to use our new gymnastics skill this way.

It is Red Nose Day today. We had to give £1 to wear our casual clothes. We had to try to wear red clothes. We had to make our faces funny for money. We think our faces are very funny.

At assembly the whole school sang ‘Making Funny Faces’ for Red Nose Day. Mrs Woodward took a whole school selfie. Even the parents had to make funny faces.

This afternoon Mrs Noble, Mrs MacDonald and Mrs Woodward came into our class with primary 1. Some of the children painted their faces to make them look very funny.

To finish Red Nose Day we visited the bake sale and bought some of the home baking. The cakes were yummy.

We have had great fun for Red Nose Day.

For P.E. we are learning all about gymnastics just now. We have been learning about balancing, rolling, jumping and travelling. We used mats, crash mats, the horse and the benches to practice our new skills. We have been working hard at gym time and working with each other to help to keep each other safe.

We have been putting our new skills together to create our own gymnastics routines using lots of the gymnastic equipment.

Adam – I loved doing our forward rolls.

Klea – I liked practicing different ways to travel.

Benjamin – I liked doing the walking, balances and walking on top of the horses.

Rhys – I really liked the obstacle course to practice jumping, balancing, travelling and rolling.
