Term 1 Week 6

One of our sounds this week was 'h' and we had fun making this out of play dough. We were able to practice some more when we learnt the tricky word 'here".
We had a visit from some peer mediators from Year 6 who explained to us how they are around in the playground to help out if we have a problem.
 We wrote all about our weekend activities using the sentence starter: "We went to the ......"

 In art we started our ' Wiggle' pictures by taking a black line for a walk around the paper. Next week we will be adding primary colours: red, yellow and blue.
When Sam was teaching us we added some more details to our portraits.
On Wednesday we had our school photos taken. Here we are all lining up ready in height order.

 There were some very clever 3D models being made out of cubes this week during maths activities.
On Thursday Jane came to tell us all about the work she has done in schools in Kenya that have been supported by last year's Purple Cake Day Fundraiser. Remember Purple Cake Day is on Friday 20th so start thinking about what purple clothes you are going to wear. To find out more about Purple Cake Day and get some dress-up ideas follow this link:

 In No Child Left Outside this week we started to develop our catching skills.

 ......and a little bit of hoola hooping as well!
Look out for our latest wall display about Pink Pigs. You can also see each of our Pink Pigs by following the link to the Kidzstuff Blog in the right sidebar of this blog.

Finally we would like to invite you to listen to our first Movie Maker clip of our weekly poem.
