This week we had a lovely visit from Arch Bishop Leo Cushley.
On Tuesday we investigated Shrove Tuesday traditions and sampled some pancakes. This led us to write imaginative stories about a runaway pancake on Wednesday. We also took part in our Ash Wednesday service to mark the beginning of Lent. We have spoken about our Lenten promises.
We celebrated World Book Day and had a super DEAR (drop everything and read). We also listened to one of our favourite authors, Alex T. Smith, speak about how he finds inspiration for his writing and then visited ‘Story Detective Stations’ to create our own stories. The stories we created were fantastic! There was much excitement as Mirren and Abby headed off to Waterstone’s to choose some new books for our class library and our new books have been much in demand.
Karen from RHET visited us on Friday and helped us to plant potatoes as part of our Science topic. We’ve entered a competition with other schools to see who can grow the heaviest crop of potatoes – but we’re most excited about eating our potatoes.
Another highlight on Friday was our story massage session when Mrs Stewart and Mrs McCabe taught us how to use massage. We all agreed that it helped us to feel peaceful and calm.
Our work in writing this week has focused on recounts and we’re developing our skills in using nouns, past tense verbs and time and sequence words. Look our for our recounts next week.
In maths we’ve been working on subtraction and multiplication. P2 developed their digital skills during maths when they made videos to demonstrate how we use arrays to solve multiplication problems.
Have a great weekend.
From Mrs Caskie, Mrs Keegan and P2/3
