SId is missing!!!!!!

Hi everybody,

When I popped into school on Thursday there was a note on the board from Sid saying how lonely he was without you so he had decided to go off on an adventure.  He said he would send us a postcard - I wonder where he is? I know he doesn't have a passport so he must still be in New Zealand somewhere. Where do you think he might go? Keep your eyes peeled while you are out and about- knowing Sid he could turn up anywhere!

Have fun in the holidays and I will see you again soon.

Mrs D

PS: Could you please start collecting empty cereal boxes - we will need them for Art next term.

Week 11 Update

Our Inquiry Topic this term has been "All About Us". This has included Statistics, Measurement, Art and English. In writing we have been busy learning about Instructions and have written recipes with Ingredients and a Method on how to make us. The ingredients each child came up with have been posted onto WallWisher (See the link on the right hand side of this page).  As you can see, everyone has a unique recipe and we would love to have your comments added to the wall - just double click on the wall and a new "stickie" will appear for you to put your comments on. As this Wall is open to the wider community - I will review the "Stickie" and approve it before it will be available for general viewing.

Have a great break and do lots of fun activities together.

PS: Don't forget the Reading Crusade (See the link on the right hand side of this page).

Trouble in Paradise

Today in writing the children wrote a story based on a youTube clip called Trouble in Paradise. They were very excited about this short animated film and wanted to be able to share it with family and friends. I love the expressions on the face of the crab! The link is on the side of the blog page.

Week 9 Update

Thank you to everyone who came along to the Goal Setting Interviews on Tuesday or Wednesday - the fifteen minutes went very quickly and if you have thought of other points you wish to discuss, please let me know. I am more than happy to arrange a time to discuss any concerns or successes.

This week we have been looking at instructions, measurement and self portraits. On Friday afternoon we made Lolly Cake Boulders. Thank you very much to Sam's mum who came and helped. The children had a great time making them and they may even have brought it home to share with you (but probably not judging by the crumbs in  the cloakroom).
