We have been to learning about Science and experiments and magnets.  We are planning to carry out experiments with magnets like; how fast they move something, what materials do they stick to, will they stick in water and more.  We have planned these experiments in pairs and are going to carry them out next week, look out for the results!

In writing, we have been learning about descriptive language.  We created scary stories  and they were so scary we jumped!  It was good fun.

In Maths we have been working on 2D shapes, we have been thinking of ways to remember them and their names.  We worked in our talking partners. We had a 2D shape quiz and we were in groups with team leaders, we had to choose the right answer.

We have also been sending a small group with Mrs Comrie, we have been learning about square numbers, numbers under zero and maths magic.

We have just started using the Red and Blue Reading boxes.  Everyone has their own level at their ability.  We are looking forward to using them because we work independently and get to mark our work.

We hope you have enjoyed our puppet shows so far.  Everyone worked really hard while developing lots of new skills in reading and writing.  Well done to all!
