Sorry we are late in updating our blog but we had a very busy Friday watching the P7 show and then taking part in our World Book Day celebrations.

Last week we learned about our new sound ‘ea’ and we are trying hard to remember which words have ‘ee’ and which ones have ‘ea’.  We are going to need to use our Learning Super Power from the Repeater to keep practising this.

In maths we learned about fractions and looked at halves.  We had to carefully cut the pancakes in half and then we got to choose a topping for each half, they were delicious!  We have also been practising our counting in 2s, 5s and 10s using our songs.

We had a special visit from Dr Alex as part of our topic work.  We got to use her stethoscope to listen to our heartbeats and a special torch to look into another person’s eye.  We were very excited but listened very well.

During outdoor learning we got to use the scooter, bikes and rickshaws for the first time in the front playground.  We made a ramp for the cars using the guttering pipes and got the chance to use the new wooden shelters.  Some people used chalk to decorate a branch and then put it up on the fence for the birds to sit on.

On Friday we worked well in our House Teams to complete a book scavenger hunt as part of our World Book Day presentation.

We are taking part in the Living Eggs project this year and in P1B there are 10 eggs in an incubator.  We are very excited to see them hatching and to learn about how to take care of the chicks when they are here.   We have already thought about which egg will hatch first and are using our sounds to think of names for the chicks!  Keep an eye out for updates about the chicks.
