Sharing Assembly

This week we have been practicing our sharing assembly and we did it this morning. At the beginning of the week we all decided what we wanted to say. Then we practiced our lines so that we could say them independently. We also chose 4 songs to sing. 3 song were about recycling and 1 song was about Summer.
We hope you enjoyed our assembly.
It has been a busy Friday with Picnic lunch and rocket lollies next to the paddling pool.


Don't forget to bring back your comment sheet about the reports.

May Day Celebrations

Over the last few weeks we were busy practicing our May Day Dance and we managed to learn it so well that we performed it yesterday and today! For the dance we were in a group of 8. Our May King and Queen was Lucy and Leo. We dressed up in smart clothes and we performed in front of all the adults. 


In Topic we have been building tall towers and structures. We found out that you had to build a big base and you add 2 sides to make it stable. We also found out that the bottom can be bigger than the top. Triangles are really strong to help structures be stable. We wrote how to make a structure and this is called an explanation. An explanation is a small piece of writing that describes how to do it.


In Maths we have also learnt about 3D shapes. The Maths words that you use to describe a 3d shape is faces, vertices and edges.
