This week our highlights have been:
We loved the tennis festival at James Young High School. It inspired us to play more tennis and we enjoyed meeting new friends from other schools.
We have been busy making Mother’s Day Cards (sshh, it is a secret!). Everyone used a range of skills to create beautiful work.
In Art we created Easter pictures with Mrs Young.
In PE we had great fun playing ball and running games.
Miss Young, a B.Ed student, has been working with us this week and we have loved having her in our class.
We have been busy caring for our potatoes in Science and we have been so excited to see them begin to grow.
Look out for our new ladders which we have created to help us when we are stuck. Everyone brainstormed their ideas then we created our own ladder.
Our multiplication and subtraction skills are really improving and we’re looking forward to moving on to division soon.
We have all got our own ‘fuzzy’ and they help us when we’re sad, as part of our Building Resilience with Skipper programme. Everyone has shared experiences of when their ‘fuzzies’ have helped them this week.
In PM Writing we have continued to work on recounts. Everyone agrees that it is easier to write our recounts in stages and that our recounts have really improved. We have loved looking for verbs and adjectives in the texts.
Some children are looking forward to making the Sacrament of Reconciliation tomorrow and have worked really hard to prepare for this important step in their Sacramental journey.
Update from Blake, Mark D., Abu Bakr, Joshua, Lloyd, Paul, Mirren, Nathan and Abby.
Thanks for the update. The tennis certainly seemed a high point in the week. Blake loved getting out to James Young and having a shot. Definitely something to try at home.
Mark had brilliant at the tennis festival, especially since it was his birthday. He always gives me updates on the potatoes. He grew his own last year at home and couldn’t wait to taste them. Love reading the updates.
