Biodiversity and babies

As always, it's been a busy week.

In maths we're using money to solve problems and in real-life situations - like planning fictional parties.

In health we've been thinking about how we grow and change, and the different things we can do as we get older.

We spent some time discussing things that newborn babies can do, things that 10 month old babies can do, 3 year olds and what we can do now. We're also thinking about things we'll be able to do when we're older - like drive a car and vote in an election.

Mrs Wolanska brought Jan in to visit us. We were able to check whether we were correct about the things a newborn baby could do, as Jan is just 3 weeks old. Here he is with his Mum and proud big sisters.

It was sunny on Thursday, so we were able to do Show and Tell outside again. Sometimes the traffic was noisy, but everyone has got much more confident at speaking in front of an audience so we were able to hear everyone clearly.

We're still working on biodiversity. Now we're making PowerPoint slideshows about the biodiversity you find around Orkney's coasts. We're hoping to put them on the blog when they're finished and to show them to parents at the class assembly.

We're still working on the props for the class assembly - we have to work together to make things. We had our first full rehersal this week too.

Here we are in music, writing the music for our lifeboat song.

We're practising for sports day when we get the chance. The 3 legged race is hard!

Do you think we're having fun?
