What a giggle!

We looked at James Carter's website as a class and had great fun reading through and performing lots of his poems. We really liked the poems that are written in the shape of what the poem is about like this football one.
What
Can You
Do With A
Football
?

Well...

You can
kick it you can catch
it you can bounce it – all
around. You can grab it you can
pat it you can roll it – on the ground.
You can throw it you can head it you
can hit it – with a bat. You can biff it
you can boot it you can spin it you
can shoot it you can drop it
you can stop it – just
like that!

However, are favourite one of all is...

Funny Faces!
Can you do a big smile?
Can you do a wink?
Can you do a little nod?
Can you do a blink?


Can you shut your left eye?
Can you shut your right?
Can you wiggle both your ears?
Can you take a bite?


Can you wrinkle up your nose?
Can you lick your chin?
Can you puff your cheeks up?
Can you do a grin?


Can you pull a funny face?
Can you roll your tongue?
Can you do these one more time -
faces are fun!

We lost count of the number of times we performed this one. Here are some photos of us displaying our funny faces.

Quarters

We love to make Maths hands-on as much as possible. We have been doing lots of work recently on fractions and it has been a perfect opportunity to do lots of practical activities.  We were really good at using the unifix cubes to explore lots of different ways of showing a quarter. We made some interesting shapes and learnt that although the shape might look different, there was still one quarter that was represented by using a different coloured cube.

Baptism

In R.E we have been looking at the Christian ceremony of Baptism.  The children were invited to bring in items from their own Baptism or a Baptism they had been to, to share with the class.  We have really enjoyed discussing all of the different things.  Thank you to all of the parents that sent them in!
