After all of our hardwork finding information and taking relevant notes about our key questions, it was time to write our reports about Giant Pandas.
We now have a display in our class showing the notesheet, the completed report and feedback sheet about our work.
Monsieur McAvoy held a fantastic competition during French today!
Not only had you to translate the item of clothing from French to English, but you also had to find it and put it on quicker than your opponent.
After making quite a mess all over the classroom floor, Sean was challenged to pack Monsieur McAvoy’s suitcase item by item as they were called out in French.
We now have our group passport!
With less than 2 months to go the questions are rolling in each day about School Camp.
With so many things to organise and pack where do you start?
We will be having a meeting all about what to pack and the final details of the trip near the end of February, so that you can get everything organised in plenty of time. I will be sending a letter home this week to confirm the date and time of the meeting.
I’ll look forward to seeing you all there.

Write one word to describe each of the characters Michael, Mum and Dad. You must include a reason for your choice of word.
Connor and Callum drew a picture of the boat called the ‘Peggy Sue’ and then Taylor and Jade painted and outlined it.
Cameron and Leona cut out a yellow circle from crepe paper for the sun and ripped some white tissue paper for the clouds.
Skye, Mya and Rebecca painted the letters black and carefully cut around them.
Graeme, Sean, Lewis, Billy, Nadine and Mrs Inglis added the different colours and textures of paper to show the sea and the waves.
Please leave us a comment to tell us what you think of our display!
Be sure to come back next week to see the yacht that we will be making.
Every Thursday afternoon we will be visited by our French teacher Monsieur McAvoy to help up polish up our French for school camp!
It was all very secretive today as we were handed brown evelopes with clues as to what our class novel was about.
After learning all about inferences this morning, we were able to look beyond the picture clues and use our imaginations to write down what we thought that the book was going to be about.
Ethan “I think that it will be about an island in Hawaii.”
Graeme “They might use the compass for travelling.”
Nadine “The main character will be a boy because it says ‘he’.”
We were looking at how we would be using the information that we found on our websites. We had to read the words, put them into our own words and then note them down on our giant notesheet.
It was really hard for lots of people to just write the notes that they needed rather than full sentences. After all the teacher normally is moaning about you not haven written in sentences!
We were finding the French words for the common foods that we eat in our French dicationaries.
We also had a look at the sample menu for Chateau Beaumont where we will be staying in France.
We have been practising “Je voudrais les escargots s’il vous plait!”
