Here are some great snaps of our World Cup Day on Friday. A great day was had by students and teachers alike. Outside we took penalty shots on the goals and there were some great goals scored. Inside the classroom we did lots of World Cup activities, making Netherlands flags and finger puppets. We had great fun!

Teacher’s Day
Health
We have been learning about parts of our face and body. We have been singing our Head, Shoulders , Knees and Toes song. It gets everybody moving and helps us learn.
This video is great for reviewing the parts of the body and helps us to recognise and spell the words.
Maths – Addition
This week we have started addition in maths. we use many different ways to add, using our fingers, in our heads and using numberlines. We love this pirate song which helps us to add.
We have started using the MyiMaths website in EP1 purple. This contains interactive games to help children learn.
This link is also full of fun games to help children with their addition.

Science – Plants
Last week we were learning about the different parts of the flower; flower, petals, stem, leaf, and roots. We were also learning what plants need to grow; water, sunlight, soil and oxygen. We planted our own sunflowers in school. Remember to water your sunflowers in the morning and after school. Here are some pictures of the children planting their sunflower seeds.
