Today in Mr Smyth’s Class we began our research on Vikings.

Here are some wonderful websites where you can find out lots of information about Vikings. For Homework we are continuing our research by looking through these websites!

There was a fantastic turnout for our first parent’s coffee morning in Anna’s room.

It was lovely to meet and chat to so many of you.

There was lots of valuable information shared and everyone is looking forward to getting started on different parent’s classes, especially the exercise classes, which will start next Wednesday at 9:20 in the hall with Angelica. We’ll also get out for morning walks again in the coming weeks – demand is high!

David also kindly shared information about the Men’s Group over at Aosóg – sounds like great fun. That’s on every Thursday morning from 10:00 – 12:00. The women’s group starts today, doing Stained Glass crafts for a few weeks.

There will also be English classes starting soon, so watch this space.

Thanks to all who made it in.

This week we looked back at the rules for capital letters. We also looked at other rules- our classroom charter. In P.E we did an obstacle course. In drama we performed the Tricky Most Show.

Today we started our viking project. We are very excited about the project.

Check back next week to find out more!
