Term 3 Already Wow!

Last week was Read-a-thon week and we had to read as much as we could and get sponsors to pay us.  On Friday we had Pyjama Day.  Mrs Phillips was so busy and had so much fun she forgot to take the photos!!  We looked: amazing, tired, epic, awesome, cool, sleepy, fantastic, great and magnificent in our PJ's and Onesies.  Mrs Phillips wore her big, long, apricot dressing gown.  Many of us also wore our slippers.  We had lots of bedtime stories and some children brought their favourite books and toys to share.  It made lots of us very sleepy especially at the end of the day and Mrs Phillips said "Good Night Room 16!"
Our new topic is about the Commonwealth Games and each morning we look at the number of medals we have won.  We are watching the 17 different sports results.  This morning we had 21 medals.
In Maths we are talking about left and right and turns. It is called Transformation.
We have been training for the Cross Country by running laps at school.  Many of us are nearly ready to get the 100 Lap Certificate.  The day has been postponed until next Tuesday, 5th August.  See the Newsletter for the race times.
Last week Mr Weepers came and taught us about Circle Time and Bubble time.  We think they are both a good idea and are using them a lot.
At Storytime we are publishing our holiday stories.  You can come in and read them.
In the holidays lots of seats and steps and a tree have been taken out out ready for the new Learning Centre to be started soon - we hope!

There's Something A Bit Fishy Going On Here!

Room 16 and Room 17 draw the fish.

What does the shape and colours of the fish tell you about them?

So that's what the inside of a salmon looks like!

Look at the eyes and the colours and the shape of this fish.  What is it?

Do these sea creatures have the things you need to be called a fish?
