MATHS
In maths we have been revising direction. We are using compass points, degrees and anti clockwise. We played the direction game- terry turtle.

We have been doing our literacy strategies (eg. Summary, main points and visuliser). We are learning a new type of writing- explanative. You explain something.

P.E
In P.E have been playing tennis. We worked in pairs to have a mini match. We tried doing rallies and scoring points.

DRAMA
We were doing drama games in class. It was fun playing drama games like decision alley (a game were you had to persuade people to do/not to do something), Zip(when you had to say zip or boing around the circle really fast) and a miming game.

TOPIC

R.E
We have been learning about Jewish food laws. Food you can eat is Kosher and bad things are called Treyfah. Kosher is animals that have split hooves and chew there own cud, fish have to have fins, scales and gills and birds have not to be birds of prey. All dairy and plants are kosher. Meat and dairy do NOT go together.

Week beginning 2/6/14

MATHS
We have been going over Division, fractions and decimals again. In division we have been learning how to find 2 thirds of 362 to make it easier we do it in division.

LITERACY
In literacy we have been learning about single or plural. The word cat becomes cats. We also learned the different rules you use to make words plural like adding ies to some words.

PE
We were playing team games of rounders outside. It was fun sprinting round the cones and trying to win.

TOPIC
We were drawing castles and putting facts in them. They looked amazing. We learned that when we draw castles with rulers it looks better like a real castle!

FOOD & HYGIENE

We were making muesli and yogurt. We mixed different fruits and oats together to make the muesli and put chopped up bananas in lemon juice. We put the bananas and muesli in layers and then added yogurt on the top.

SHOWS
Hopscotch came to our school and put on a play about the commonwealth games. We learned that the British Empire became the commonwealth. P1s had an assembly about the 1960s. They did lots of 60s singing and dancing. It was interesting learning about life in the 60s.

SCIENCE
Our science project was how fast ice could melt. Ice in warmer places melts fast and so does small ice. Also ice melts in different places like if it was beside a window it would melt faster and if it were in a freezer it would not melt at all.

I.C.T
We were making comic lives. We worked in pairs to make a comic about friendship. We had some fab ideas. We learned how to insert photos and speech bubbles.
