Oscar's Boat Building

Oscar has been at home with a cold for a few days. With help from his Mum and little sister Iris, Oscar made his own boat at home. Have a look at the movie they put together about it. We hope you will be back at school soon Oscar.

Floating our Boats

On Friday we had a challenge to see if we could make a boat that would float. We used the boxes from the shop, playdough and straws to build the boats. All the boats had a flag at the top of the mast. Most of the boats did float but two sunk. Have a look at us making our boats.

I liked making the boat by myself. Ezekiel

Pyjama Day

To celebrate learning about the letter "Pp" this week, our syndicate had a pyjama day today. The teachers and children came to school wearing pyjamas, slippers and pillows. We really enjoyed sharing our night wear with the rest of the school. When the bell went this morning we turned off the lights and had another snooze. This is what we looked like. I hope you enjoy our photos.

Book character day

Last week we dressed up as our favourite book character to celebrate our learning about "B" week.

Wild About Water

This afternoon we did an investigation to see which things would float and which would not.

The children had to predict which would float and stand by the sign "yes". If we thought things would not sink we stood by the "no" sign. (We are becoming very good readers!) At the end we tried a necklace of Cailin's and Baz's medal. Cailin's necklace was a floater, but Baz's medal did not. What things could you try to see which are floaters or sinkers?

Running Races

On Friday we had running races and relays. Alex enjoyed the star jumps the best! Cailin liked watching the children win the race. Holly's favourtie race was the rabbit race.
