We programmed our robots to move around buildings and arrive at a parking spot. We added lights and sounds to our robots at the zebra crossing.
On Wednesday the nursery boys and girls went on an Autumn walk around our school grounds. They enjoyed looking at all the different trees and they were able to find trees that had very little leaves left. We looked at all the different shapes, sizes and colours of the leaves and we brought 2 full bags back to use in nursery during our play. We had our wellies on and had so much fun walking and swishing through all the crunchy leaves.
Today we welcomed Nicky and Nicola from Allstate in Strabane to our school. They told the girls in year 7 all about some inspirational women in the world. The girls were given beautiful books to read and activity books to complete. We look forward to our next visit from Nicky and Nicola in November.
This week we have started learning all about fractions in numeracy. In pairs we all got a pack of smarties and worked together to find the fraction of each colour of smartie. We then worked independently to find fractions of different amounts. We know the difference between the numerator and the denominator and know to divide by the bottom and multiply the top!
Sophie was so kind to bring in her snakes skin for us all to look at today!
Sophie told us all about how snakes shed their skin to allow for further growth and to remove parasites that may have attached to their old skin. As a snake grows, its skin becomes stretched. Unlike human skin, a snakes skin doesn't grow as the animal grows. Eventually, snakes reach a point where further growth is not possible.
Another little girl who is snake mad in our class was even able to tell us if it was a boy or a girl snake from its scales! We can confirm it is a boy and his name is Popcorn.
Check out our photos and see if you can see it’s eyes!
Today we had our second Mandarin Chinese lesson with Sun. Last week we learnt how to say hello, goodbye and thank you whilst learning all about the moon festival. This week we learnt how to count to five through singing and dancing. It was great fun and we can’t wait until next week!
