We are still working on our Katie Morag topic in class and have been looking at lots of different Katie Morag  stories.  We are starting to look at weddings around the world as part of our work on Katie Morag and the Wedding.  In art we have been drawing portraits of Katie Morag’s family taking care to try to draw all of the features in the correct places.  These portraits are going to be used to build Katie Morag’s family tree.  Our classrooms are full of wonderful models of places from the Isle of Struay that we made at home using recycled materials.  We have been using the Beebots to create pathways and have even started to make our own mats to use with them.  They are looking so good that Mrs Sinclair is going to keep them to use another time too!  As budding designers we have designed new wellies for Grannie Island and new hats for Grandma Mainland.  They are a bright addition to our classroom displays.  We also designed new outfits for them when we created a collage of the two Grandmothers and filled in a blank outline making sure we thought about all of the little details we would need.

In maths we have been looking at adding on 10 to numbers up to 100.  We are so good at using adjectives that we are now looking at verbs in our writing.  A verb is a doing word and we have had lots of fun practising them in class.  We are enjoying being quizmasters for our spelling quiz during the week which is helping us improve our results in our spelling test.  We can only be a quizmaster if we get full marks on a Friday! Mr Muldoon is teaching us tricks from ball games in P.E. and in music we have been creating sound stories and also took part in the sign to sing world record attempt.
