This week we have further explored our rights and the rights of the children around the world. We tried to see how it would feel if we had to carry water from the tap to just across the classroom. Most of us found it tricky and some of us found it easy. It was tricky because the water weighed a lot. A lot of children have this responsibility every day – sometimes before school or even not being able to go to school as it takes so long. We also looked at what makes a safe school and we could identify lots of ways that Balbardie is safe. We made posters to send to the prime minister to make sure they keep their promise of having safe schools for all children all around the world.

In maths, we have started to look at recognising numbers and how they form a sequence. We have been practicing the number song and looking at numbers before and after a given number. In topic maths, we have started to look at the properties of 2D shapes and their properties.

In science, we were learning about the different properties material have and compared how they felt, looked and moved in comparison to each other. We recorded our results and were able to talk about the different materials.

In literacy, we looked at how to use The Comprehension Box. The cards were interesting and we could choose which one to do first. We also discussed the messages we could write on our Safe Schools poster and chose the one we liked best, to write.

Enjoy your weekend!
