I went to the Cross Country race. When I started  I was very nervous. But when I was running I was fine. Then my legs got sore but at the end I was very happy. Then after that I went to the Four Square
and I got a blue icecream. Then I went past the school. I saw some people there. Then I saw Bryn picking up Izzy and Bryn went to have a play in the playground.

Library

We visit the School Library every Friday to get a book to enjoy at home over the weekend.

We are lucky to have such a great place full of wonderful books.

We love relaxing in our Library and know we have to keep quite quiet so everyone can read. 

Lemon Experience

We looked at, touched, smelt and tasted lemons to build up a bank of describing words for our writing.

Then we wrote about our lemon experience using some wonderful describing words.

Lastly we did some observational drawings of the lemon.

Here is some examples. Feel free to come in and see / read the rest.

Folkdancing

We have been learning two folk dances as part of our Phys Ed programme.

With lots of boys in our class I had to teach how to skip first, it was quite an entertaining

session!!

Once we mastered skipping we learnt to listen to the music and move in time to it. 

Another tricky skill for some!

The dances were Plaskavic Kolo from Yugloslavia ( Croatia ) and Jibidi from France.

In the end most of the children loved the experience.

Folk dancing

Here we are practising a folk dance from Croatia.

The boys had to learn to skip and sidestep correctly first!!

Lots of funny moves but we got there in the end.

Tornados in Room One

During Science with Mrs O'Leary, we made tornadoes in bottles

and looked at real life tornadoes on our Activboard.

It was quite amazing!!
