We have been exploring different values during R.E. time. Today we read a story about Minnie the Monkey. She was a bit disrespectful – always interrupting when other people were talking and saying things she shouldn’t have been. It’s very important to think before you speak otherwise you might hurt someone’s feelings without even noticing!  Miss Duffy put some toothpaste on a paper towel and asked us to have a go at putting all the toothpaste back in the tube. None of us could manage it! Just like the toothpaste, we can’t quite manage to put things back into our mouths after we have said them. We are going to show respect by thinking before we speak from now on but we understand that sometimes mistakes do happen and it is important to forgive people too.

Once again, as promised, some more of our 3D houses that make up our Fantasy Street.

As you can see, lots of hard work has gone into these houses. Some of them even have residents!!! Who would live in a house like this?

Last week we were treated to not one, but two super Workshops. First of all, we learned all about the amazing work of the SSPCA and what we can do to help animals that are in trouble…

After that, we had some lovely ladies from Santander Bank in our classroom teaching us all about money. We learned how to budget by selecting some items for our imaginary bedroom. We all wanted a TV but came to realise that our budgets wouldn’t allow it!

As part of the year of Mercy, we have been looking at the story of The Lost Sheep. We know that the message God is sending us from this story is that even if we wander away from him, he will always love us. Here we are making some little sheep. First we made the body using cotton wool then we stuck on legs and our own faces! Check out our wall display.

As part of our topic “My School” we made a graph recording how we get to school. It had been a while since we made a graph but we remembered that a graph gives us information. After making the graph we chose a feelings face to show how successful we thought we were!

Gathering information

Answering questions about our findings

We feel proud!

We are happy

During literacy time we have been making sentences. We find using “roll a sentence” helps us. Here we are below. We have to remember capital letters and full stops because the dice don’t give us them!
