This week we had some golden time, some of us went to Miss McGlashan’s class to paint a big picture using  our fingers! It got a bit messy.

We have been spelling some tricky words this week, we even managed to get a few into our writing jotters.

We went to Netherbyres and explored further into the woods listening carefully for interesting sounds. We played a game with blindfolds. We had to listen carefully for people making different sounds. We heard birds tweeting in the trees and lots of raindrops!

In maths some of us have been adding and taking away numbers to 20. It was hard work. We have been learning to tell the time, we know that there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in a hour and 24 hours in a day.

Table 2 were our table of the week. They had some nice comfy cushions all week. Evie is our star pupil this week.

This week has been a good week, but we are feeling a bit tired from all our hard work.

We are very proud to share that one of our pupils has been nominated for a Sick Kids Fundraiser award.

Dylan Thomas, 11, decided to raise money for the Sick Kids Friends Foundation Teenage Cancer Fund in 2012 by swimming 200 lengths. Aged 10 when he did his sponsored swim, Dylan was inspired to help after his younger brother spent some time in the Sick Kids. Dylan is ‘a very happy lad and always cares for others’.

Please take a minute to vote for him. Simply click on Dylan and add your details to the voting form.

Thank you and good luck Dylan.
