We all came back to school on Tuesday after a nice holiday break. We started the day with spelling and grammar then we had a session to develop our thinking skills with Mrs McLaughlin by exploring clues in pictures then in the afternoon (after math) we created some simple winter sketches. We also discussed Children’s Rights – Article 16 – every child has the right to Privacy and what that means to us in our everyday life.

It is Black History Month and on Wednesday we discussed racism and investigated the life of Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. In the afternoon we created a collage of pictures showing our understanding of TRUST this is one of our important school values.

Friendship, TRUST, Respect, Happiness, Kindness, Teamwork and Self-Belief

On Thursday we wrote descriptive poems about imaginative things we would put in a Magic Box. This was a lot of fun choosing descriptive words. We learned some different mental math strategies for multiplication and division in the afternoon. This morning after completing our Big Maths and CLIC challenges, we had a great time mounting out Greek artwork to bring home and share with our families. We also finished our emotions fortune tellers which we will also bring home today.

Next week we will be starting our new topic Earth Heroes which is about Conservation and Sustainability.
