children, was our Origami lesson.\u00a0 We looked at the origins of Origami and also what the word means, then we took to work and tried to create some Origami birds of our own.\u00a0 It was very tricky, however after a lot of hard work and retracing of steps, many of the children managed to create the finished article.\u00a0 Others were not quite so successful but thankfully nobody gave up and everyone persevered right until the end.\u00a0 In fact, some of the children were so keen to improve their skills, they took paper home with them to practise and brought different examples in the next day.\u00a0 Here is a picture of a completed bird:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11029\"

learning highlight this week, was our outdoor learning.\u00a0 Last week we worked in groups to create our own games, this week we spent time with another group, teaching them our game and playing theirs.\u00a0 Lots of fun was had by everyone (including Mrs Craig).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-11039\"

this week, we worked on finding the perimeter of shapes, including compound shapes.\u00a0 We also continued with our work on decimals with Mrs Morrison and finished our posters for the Maths wall with Mrs Craig.<\/p>\n<p>For Remembrance day, we wrote poems, made poppy pictures and took part very respectfully in the 2 minute silence.\u00a0 Here are some examples of our work:<\/p>\n<p><img
