Class Environment
Having discussed our class layout and how we could improve it we have started to make changes. We thought that it would be a good idea in the library to change our display in order to encourage children to read our new books. Some of us designed book covers and others created book reviews by some of our favourite authors. This is what it now looks like:
Mrs Stewart discussed what changes we could make to the library in order to make it more inviting with a small group of children.

Dinosaur Park
We are presently reading Dino Egg by Charlie James in class. We are enjoying the novel and have created a role-play station. Here you can be a scientist, park keeper, van driver, dinosaur or tourist!
Maths
We learnt about chance and probability to describe the likelihood of events happening. As a class we discussed certain scenarios and then had to hold up a card describing if we thought the event was impossible, unlikely, likely or certain.
Georgie – It was fun holding up the cards.
We disagreed about some events.
Mason – It is impossible that England will win the next World Cup.
However most of us agreed that it was just unlikely.
Lewis Duckworth – It is impossible that I will eat cornflakes for breakfast tomorrow. His justification was that there was none in the house.
However some of us argued that his mum might go out and buy some!
Eva – It is certain I will have cornflakes.
Some of us thought that might be a problem if they had all been used up. We tried to persuade Eva it was ‘likely’ she would have them.
Liam – We learnt that there could be different answers to the same question and both would be correct.
For example the likelihood of it snowing depends upon where you live in the world.
Numeracy
We continued to practise our tables including making use of loop games.
Literacy
One of our class writing targets is to use a variety of connectives. We played ‘Connectives Blockbusters’ to practise using connectives in sentences.
Writing
Emma – I enjoyed drawing and decorating my dinosaur egg and it has been fun making up the story about what happens to the dinosaur.
R.M.E.
We used our research skills to find out about the life of a famous Scottish Christian – Eric Liddell.
Chloe – We learnt that he was a famous Olympian.
Georgie -He would not race on a Sunday because of his faith.
