This week we have been learning all about Chinese New Year. We read a story about the Chinese Zodiac and we loved hearing about the animals that were the year we were born. We made our own dragons and wrote about how people celebrate.
In literacy, we have been learning the sounds ‘ch’ and ‘sh’ and revision of wh, th, sh and ch. We are confidently able to read, write and find words with these sounds.
In maths, we continued our learning on subtraction and learned about ordinal numbers and we looked at the order the animals won the race in the Chinese Zodiac story.
In PE, we have finished our block of gymnastics by using all our different skills on the equipment. We were very good at remembering how to land safely when we jump.
We were so excited on Wednesday, when Mrs McKissack held surprise assembly, to tell us that we are now a GOLD Rights Respecting School! We are all so proud of everyone and all our hard work.
This week we have been learning about Pancake Tuesday, we listened to the story Mr Wolf’s Pancakes and The Runaway Pancake then we got our own pancake to eat.
We learned that Ash Wednesday is the start of Lent and we know that people go to Church to receive ashes and it reminds them of Jesus.
As part of our Scotland topic we looked at the Scottish artist Steven Brown and we drew our own McCoos. Mrs Russell was very impressed with how well they turned out and they take pride of place outside our classroom for all to see.
Today we celebrated our Rights Gold Award and Valentine’s Day by wearing gold, red and pink colours.
Congratulations to Oscar our Hot Chocolate winner. Well done to Connor our Reading Champion and well done to the joint winners this week of the Table Points the Red and Orange Tables.
We hope you have a wonderful holiday and well deserved rest and we look forward to welcoming you all back on Tuesday 20th February.
