On Thursday it was National Poetry Day and to celebrate this we wrote our own poems based on Autumn. We had of rhyming couplets which linked to Autumn.

In our topic work, we were learning about the light bulb. We found out that Thomas Edison didn’t invent it but he improved it.

In maths, we were learning how to layout out column addition and how to carry the tens and units. Mrs Stewart and Mrs Ferguson came to see what we were doing and they were very impressed with our knowledge.

Also, it was National Language Day on Wednesday and we learnt how to say ‘hello’ in different languages. We also learnt how to count up to 20 in French.

We made our healthy heart posters telling us different things we can do to keep our hearts healthy. Things like dancing, trampolining, jogging and eating fruits and vegetables. WE continued to practice our number bonds to ten and some of us even tried number bonds to 20 or 100! We had a visitor on Monday, Mrs. Davidson, who told us how different parts of the body help with speech. In writing we did poems about our senses, making little riddles about where we were. We played an exciting game of domes and dishes in PE.

We learnt about the different bones of the body, like your spine (back) your tibia and fibula (shin bones) and your femur (thigh bone). Also, we researched the organs of the body like the lungs, the kidneys, the bladder and the heart. We also practiced our number bonds using number bond bingo. We are getting really good at knowing what numbers go together to make 10. We used these to add past the friendly number
