We’ve had a very exciting week as on Monday the school had a visit from a real explorer! Craig the explorer told us all about his expeditions to the South and North poles and some of the children got to try on the clothes he wears and sample some of the food he eats. We’ve been very inspired by his visit and have carried out lots of science experiments during the week. The children loved making their own boats from plasticine and trying to work out the best design to ensure their boats floated. Yesterday, working in pairs, the children researched and designed an underwater exploration vehicle. It has been great fun!
Homework:
Just a reminder to ask your child to try and read the words in the blue word book. Every week we will stick in new words and it would be great if you could sign the book to say they have been practised. Thank you for your help with this.
On Tuesday next week the children will recite their Scottish poem in class. We’ve been practising these in school and I know that you have been practising them at home – thank you.
PE
Outdoor PE is on a Monday and indoor PE is on a Wednesday. Please could you make sure your child has PE kit for those days (they can leave it in school if you prefer and take it home at the end of the week).
Also please can you make sure your child has indoor shoes for school.
Thanks so much for your support.
