Hansel and Gretel
After reading the story, we had to eat a gingerbread house!!
Puppets
We are going to make some puppets.
To start us off, we made some finger puppets.
We have now also made stick puppets.
This entailed us having to paint an egg for the head and decorating it with wool or felt for hair/hat. We then had to saw wood (25cm long) for the body and then covering it with material. (Thank you Mrs Gillies for the help!) We also had to attach another smaller piece of wood for an arm.
Hey Presto- a stick puppet!
Our Beanstalks
Today we looked at our beanstalk plants and worked out what our plants needed to grow.
We found out that they definitely needed light and water, but not all of our plants grew even though they had this.
Miss Lamb’s grew the biggest and stood at an amazing 35 cm. However AK’s was a close second with 32cm!
Rugby
P1/2/3 have been playing rugby for the last three weeks every Monday morning.
The last two weeks have been lovely and sunny, but still very muddy as you will see from the photos!
Gingerbread Men
We read the story of The Gingerbread Man, so we decided to make some of our own.
We have recently been learning how to measure with weight, so we got to practice our weighing skills.
After we baked them, we decorated them.
In Literacy, we learned how to write instructions showing how to do this.
Whose That baby?
The Skeleton
Please find a link to learn about the skeleton. I know it will be difficult for some of you to read but you can do this with Mum or Dad. You probably won’t know all of the facts, but you will probably know some from work in class and Generation Science.
Measure
Please have a look at some of the measure games in the link below.

Measure
We have been learning measure in class. We have done volume. Some of us have been looking at litres and half litres, while others have been measuring with cups and spoons
We have also been looking at weight. Some of us have been measuring weight with kg and half kg, while others have weighed with cubes, pegs and beans.
We are now measuring length. Some of us are using metres and half metres, while others have been using hands and feet.
