At the beginning of the week we learned about the different parts of a castle.  We learned about towers, battlements, turrets, drawbridges, moats and the portcullis.  We built and drew castles and Carla did a mini-project at home about her visit to Niddry Castle.  She brought in lots of photographs and told us all about them.

Later on in the week, we wrote a personal story about ‘When I was little’.  We had to think back to when we were a baby and think of something we did then that we don’t do now.  We had some very funny stories.  We had stories about nappies, dummies and rubber ducks in the bath!

Michael also brought in a magnifying glass for his news time.  He told us all about it and what it can be used for.  We decided we would like to go outside and go ‘mini-beast hunting’.  We found lots of insects including earwigs, ladybirds, worms and beetles.  They looked much bigger when we looked at them through the magnifying glass.
