In geography this week, we have been looking at Sydney in Australia. We had a look at the site, Tripadvisor, and discussed how this site can be great for recommending places for tourists.
We looked at particular sites - Bondi beach, Sydney Harbour Bridge and The Three Sisters. We then designed our own tourist attraction poster recommending these lovely places. I was extremely impressed with how the children adopted their knowledge from previous lessons to create their own posters, including both human and physical features of these places.
Well done Scotland class, have a lovely half-term break!

This week we had the opportunity of visiting Newcastle Cathedral. We first began our day with creating our own Bishop - the children were excellent in naming the different parts of clothing a Bishop needs to wear!
Then, we went on a small tour around the Cathedral and learned about how babies are baptised. Some of the children got involved in acting out the different parts of the baptism.
Well done Scotland class for another fantastic week.

In art this week, we have been learning all about repetitive patterns. We used our knowledge to create a lovely rainbow. Here is how they turned out!

In science this week, we have learned about our five senses. We focused on our hearing and went on a 10 minute walk around school to test our hearing! The children commented on how they heard many noises - children, chairs, the wind etc. We then finished our lesson off with a game of bingo, where we had to listen to noises and cross them off on our bingo sheet.

Welcome back, Scotland class!
A fantastic start to the term this week! We were very lucky to go to the library to take part in a mini scavenger hunt. We first read a story, then, we collected all the items related to the story and put them onto our main character.
We then had a little look at the books in the library before coming back to school.
