Camping at school!

On the last Friday of Term 1 the Year 1, 2 and 3 classrooms decided to have a mini-camp at school.

The weather played its part which allowed us to pitch tents on the field, make pancakes, play parachute games, run the egg and spoon race as well as take part in an egg toss game.

Have a look at some of the fun we had!

Our tent is successfully up!

Look at out tent city!

Last peg to go in.

Even our furry friend is enjoying the sunshine.

Now you see us!

Now you don't!

Mr D and Mrs McLeish demonstrating the egg throw - be careful!

Now it's our turn.......Watch out......

Oops!  

Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic!

 

A giraffe at school?

Yes, Yes, Yes!  It is true!  

Harold the Giraffe and his friend Chris came to visit us.

Harold is from the Life Education Trust and his role is to help provide us with the knowledge we need to become unique, informed individuals who are able to make sensible choices about our health and our lives.

Our Science topic this term has been 'Ourselves'.  Harold helped us to understand the things that animals and humans NEED to stay alive.  Harold also reminded us of the importance of being a good friend.......we most certainly are GOOD friends!

We love cookies.......especially when they help us to learn subtraction!

Our friend the Cookie Monster has been helping us to learn about subtraction.  

We know that when we subtract one number from another we end up with 'less'.  

This is a big mathematical idea and this understanding helps us to estimate if our answer is likely to be correct or not.

The Cookie Monster story problems have helped us to understand subtraction as 'taking away' and to also count back on a number line to solve subtraction number sentences.

We certainly enjoyed 'taking away'.

The Easter Bunny visited us last week!

On Thursday, last week, we started our day by making our very own HOT CROSS BUNS!  

They were delicious!

Then we made some Easter baskets and lovely Easter leadlights.

 Finally, the Easter Bunny paid us a visit and we hunted around the playground to find our Easter goodies!
