It was such lovely weather on Monday, we went outside in the afternoon. We are lucky to have some outdoor toys and equipment, a good selection so we can choose activities that suit us.
The future of Springfield School football team is looking good Mr Logan – some great skills being shown here!
A group of children decided to work together to build the longest cuboid they could – good teamwork guys!
We have continued our floating and sinking this week – carrying out experiments by ourselves and making our own boats. There was a selection of materials available and we had to think about shape and design. Most of the boats floated, for a little while at least and it was good fun talking about why they sank, what were the best designs and materials? We also thought about what we could do differently next time.
We were learning the ‘oo’ sound this week. We did lots of different ‘oo’ activities although we particularly liked playing with the ‘goo’ or ‘gloop’ – both good ‘oo’ words!
Looking back at some of my blogs I realised that I don’t post very many maths pictures, not that we don’t do much maths – I just seem to be too busy during maths time to take pictures! Here are some of us working on subtraction this week. We were looking at maths language – different word problems that mean we have to use subtraction to work out the answer and we are beginning to link addition and subtraction facts to improve our mental maths.
On Thursday it was our Easter Bonnet Parade. The Easter Bonnets were all fantastic – thank you very much for all your hard work. It was lovely seeing some of you at the parade, even though we were a little star struck and didn’t sing as loudly as we usually do!
On Thursday afternoon some of the children from Bonnytoun Nursery came for a visit. They listened to a story with us and spent some time in the classroom. Then we went outside for an Easter Egg hunt and some games.
We had a lovely Easter service at St Michael’s church on Friday, walking all the way there and back without a hitch or a grumble! Well done guys – as usual you were little stars. Also, a big thank you to the parents who helped us today.
Have a fantastic Easter break and I’ll see you in just over two weeks time.
