This morning we were learning about musical notes with Mrs Grenfell. Mrs Sutherland came back just in time to hear us play a tune and she cleverly guessed that it was our version of Twinkle Twinkle. Here are some of us enjoying our music lesson.

We started a new topic in P5/6 this week – Caribbean Islands. We are going to be learning all sorts of information about the Caribbean. We started with a whole class carousel activity and then afterwards decided for which of the islands we are each going to be making a factfile. Everyone is super excited about this topic – we are simply bursting with ideas for study!

In P5/6, the Bruce reading group are reading “The Demon Headmaster” – a book all about a spooky headteacher…

He has taken to hypnotizing the children and teachers!! We decided to write a new blurb for the back cover to encourage other people to read this spook-tastic and hypnotic tale…oooo-oooo-ooooooooh!!!!! 

We have a new Maths Station in the class. We can choose an activity from here when we are finished our work. Today we were building number recognition towers, practising number formation, sorting the dinosaurs into doubles, matching numbers with the spots on the dice and playing a game on the laptop where we had to find the missing number. Have a look!

This morning we had our very first Show and Tell session in the class.

Before we started, the children talked about what would make a good audience. Yousef, Cameron, Milly, Cara, Sam, Lucy and Aiden thought it was important to sit beautifully, clap when the person speaking has finished, sit still and don’t move about, don’t talk, don’t shout out, and put up your hand when you have a question.

We now know a bit more about wrestlers and their names, and what a doctor uses the different things in their bag for and what they are called. We saw some lovely holiday photos too!

Well done to everyone, especially as you were the first group to do this. We will find out on Monday whose turn it is next week.

Here are some pictures for you to enjoy.
