Linking the Learning is one of the phrases we like to use in class. We linked our writing with our interdisciplinary topic:Planet Earth, Sun and Moon. Children had to persuade an alien to come to visit Earth. Lots of enthusiasm was generated after watching the trailer clip from the move E.T.
We also linked the learning when we made papier mache planets! What a messy activity this has proved to be, but worth every minute as this work in progress is coming along nicely.
We had a visit from the SSPCA and the children learned that they should contact the SSPCA if they find certain animals in danger.
We made another link here with the introduction of Ed the duck to our class. Ed is helping the children to spell past tense verbs correctly, by adding “ed” to the ending.
Maths has been very active and the children loved the round the class snake game which challenged them to work as a team and beat the timer whilst making up 3 digit numbers with place value cards.
We had a visit from our class baby, Holly, and she was able to smile and react more to the children now that she is 20 weeks old!
To round off the week, Filip rang our Golden Time Bell which means tidy up for home time!
Happy weekend, hope you like this week’s pics!

Finlay had a good, varied week this week. He particularly enjoyed making his planet, Baby Holly’s visit and the SSPCA visit. We’ve enjoyed the homework too – making a rocket, a postcard, a comic strip, etc, the learning was fun! Thanks
Thank you for leaving a comment! Yes it has been a varied week and I’m glad Finlay is thoroughly enjoying his homework topic menu tasks! Great work!
