We have had a brilliant World Book Day. We have read loads and had fun!
 

This afternoon, Year 3 were looking for woodlice in the school grounds. We looked in lots of areas - behind the outdoor classroom, in the garden, around the climbing frame and we recorded our findings in a table. 
 

This afternoon, we were creating polka dots using different art mediums. We used oil pastels, paint, felt tips and pencil crayons. We used the stippling technique and circling to create the dots. 
 

This morning, we were dancing like monkeys and moving like we were in the jungle. It was great fun. 
 

Today, Year 2 started learning about multiplication. We were seeing how we could make equal groups with 20 counters.

This afternoon, we were sketching our self portraits. We used sketching pencils (lots of excitement occurred!) to be able to be more accurate with our lines and shapes and the light and dark parts of our face.

This morning, we were sorting 2D shapes. We have sorted them using their properties - amount of sides, amount of vertices, colour. 
 

This afternoon, we were sorting foods in Science. We had to think of different ways we could group the foods we were given. We sorted them by how healthy they were, what food group they are, taste, how much sugar they had. 
 

This morning, we began making our decorations with the help of a returning Mrs Brown! 
 

This afternoon, Year 2 and Year 3 had a great, interactive lesson from Niscu all about the Christmas story.

This afternoon, we were practising our cutting skills for when we make a decoration next week. We were very careful and trying to cut as neatly as possible.

This morning, Year 2 were using base 10 to add two two digit numbers together. They were amazing at it and soon moved onto adding without the base 10!
