What a great start to the week we had! We went on our school trip to Purves Puppets in Biggar.
\nJulia-\u201cThe show was called Pips and Panda meet the three bears.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show was amazing because the puppets glowed in the dark. We had to blow out special lights in the theatre for the room to go dark.
\nMaja- \u201cWhen we blew the lights out the stars begun to glow above us on the ceiling.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two main characters were called Pips and Panda and we got to hear the story of Golidlocks and the 3 bears.<\/p>\n

This linked perfectly with our new Fairyland topic.<\/p>\n

Madison-\u201cMy favourite part was when Panda flew away with the kite because I liked Panda the Puppet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wojciech- \u201cI liked the part when Panda and Pips got stuck in the swing because they kept bumping in to each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ava- \u201cMy favourite part was when the Hawaiian frogs were dancing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leo- \u201cMy favourite character was Pips because he is a cheeky monkey and I think I am a cheeky monkey too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lilly- \u201cI liked when the rabbit was eating Panda\u2019s apple. I also liked when the Rabbit put tomato sauce on Pip, it was so funny.\u201d<\/p>\n

Poppy- \u201cI liked it when Pips fell off of the swing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elenta- \u201cMy favourite part was when Panda got stuck in the tree.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the show we all got to meet the puppets and we got a photo with them.\u00a0 Here is our photo with the puppets.<\/p>\n

Once we had our lunch the puppeteer came to talk to us about the history of puppets and he showed us special paintings on the wall.<\/p>\n

The Puppeteer told us about shadow puppets, finger puppets, string puppets, glove puppets and rod puppets.Here are the photos showing the history of puppets. I’m sure we could tell you all about it at home.<\/p>\n

To follow on from this back in class we investigated different types of puppets and how they are made. We drew a picture of our class puppet (Paolo) and we thought about the materials he is made from and all of his different parts. Then we designed our own puppets which we will make next week.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On Tuesday we completed a short read task for the story of Golidlocks and the Three Bears.<\/p>\n

Ana-\u201cWe had to read the text and then fill in the missing words.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For money this week we continued to learn about money equivalences. We had to find two different ways of making an amount with the coins.<\/p>\n

We are finding this easier now and we are getting very good at identifying the best coins to use instead of using lots of 1 pences.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also been using Sumdog this week to practise developing our skills in numeracy and maths. We love using Sumdog because it\u2019s a fun way to learn numbers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have been counting in 2\u2019s 5\u2019s and 10\u2019s and we love singing along to the Counting Robot Song.<\/p>\n
