Healthy Lifestyles

This week, we should have had Sports' Day, but the weather was too rainy. So, we are looking forward to having it soon.


We had a day finding out about Healthy Lifestyles. We looked at what a balanced plate of food should look like and other ways we stay healthy. We took our learning forward by creating a balanced plate of food or by doing a PowerPoint.


Harry's dad came in and talked to us about fire safety. He asked us all to check that we had a smoke alarm at home and explained how to call for help if we needed it. We knew not to ring 999 unless it is an emergency though. We had great fun looking in the fire engine. There's room for 6 firefighters and they have a big machine for cutting through metal as well as the hoses.


In Creative Writing this week, we read some of Roald Dahl's Magic Finger. Then we had to create a story about another character with a magic finger. Our stories were lots of fun!


We  listened to some of The Enormous Crocodile and then had a problem to solve in maths today.


Twelve children want to cross a stream to meet their friends on the other side. There are three boats tied to the bank. Next to the boat there is a sign that reads:

BEWARE OF THE CROCODILES!

If the children wish to cross the stream safely they must row all three boats across the river at the same time; there must be an even number of passengers in each boat.


We worked in small groups to solve the problem and chose different ways to record. Lily also took her learning further in Learning through Play and tried to see if 15 children could make the journey...


We really enjoyed Lime Class' assembly this morning. We thought they all spoke clearly and we could tell they have been working very hard.


Lily got the Star Award this week for the way she took her learning forward in maths. Well done, Lily.


Our Home Learning is to continue learning our lines for the play.


We have a French Café for our grown ups on Monday 4th July at 2:30 - please let Mrs McLellan/Mrs Grimes know if you can come.


Have a good weekend.
