We all had a super time at our Jubilee Tea Party today. We ate Victoria sponges & played ‘The Queen Says’ then had a bit of a boogie.

This Is My Life Talks

We have been thinking about birth and early life in class. We would love to hear stories about your life up until p4. Using the sheet sent home today, please talk to your family members and make notes under the headings. Bring your sheet back to class by Monday 6^th June. We will then use your notes to write a talk in class for you to give to your classmates before the end of term. If you have some photos from your early life you would like to share with your classmates during your talk, you can take pictures of them using your ipad.

Please talk to us if you have any questions

Thanks

Mrs Belleville, Mrs Dundas, Mrs Rand

It was lovely to welcome parents and carers into our classroom today. Here are some photos of the classroom in case you weren’t able to make it today

We are enjoying our Wonderful Wellbeing sessions. While Mrs Belleville takes us one by one to complete our Wellbeing Wheels, we spend time together. We aren’t allowed to use our iPads during Wellbeing Time so it is a great chance to work on our social skills

Last week, we learned how to measure things using metre sticks and measuring tapes. We worked really well in our pairs to make accurate measurements

Mrs Edge has been very impressed with our super long jump skills!

In class, we are working on talking and listening skills. We are planning to do a block of ‘Show and Tell’ where you can talk about a special object. You will be a given a slot to do your short talk in class. The timetable of slots will be posted here over the next few days.

To prepare for this, you should take a photo of your special object on your ipad. The object should not be brought into school. To help them with their talk, children should consider the following points:

• What is the object?
• Where did you get it?
• What do you do with it?
• Why is it special to you?

You can add more information on your object if they want to. You can practice your talk at home to help with yourr confidence.

We have been thinking about how unique and special we are in Health and Wellbeing. This week, we were given a potato. We had to look at the potato to notice what made it unique. We then had to put all of the potatoes into the middle of the circle and find our own one. Most of us managed to find our potato. We discussed how special we all are and how we should be proud of the things that make us unique. We also talked about respecting others’ differences. We looked at a Dr Seuss quote about being proud of our uniqueness. ‘Today you are you, that is truer than true, There is nobody else Youer than you.’

Thanks to Mrs Edge for these fantastic photos of our work in PE.
