Here is a Recount piece of writing by 1st Class about our afternoon yesterday.

Painting Autumnal Colours

Yesterday, our class did some painting in class.

First we put on some painting bibs, got paint, brushes and paper ready and we mixed different colours together to make new colours.

Next we painting these new colours on our pages.

After that, we painted some leaves using autumn colours- yellow, brown, red and orange.

In the end, we left the painting dry, tidied up, washed our hands and took our bibs off.

That was the best day ever!

Maths for fun !

With Maths Week fast approaching the children in 5th and 6th have really enjoyed learning some new Maths Games. Today they learned how to play Salute!

The children play in groups of three. One pupil is nominated as the dealer and deals the other two pupils a card face down. When the dealer calls ‘Salute’ the pupils place their card on their forehead without looking at it. The dealer then calls out the sum of the two cards and the pupils have to try and guess their card.
