Our first few weeks in class

We have spent time this past fortnight taking part in class challenges.  This has helped us get to know our new friends and find out about their interests and hobbies. 
We have also started looking at different projects we hope to cover this year.   
 

 
 Our social studies topic is 'Homes around the World'.  We have started our work by finding out about the Usat family.  They live in longhouses in Malaysia.  We will be using a range of sources to investigate this.
 
 

Last week we started a block of work called the 'Reading Cafe'.  We began by finding out about a 'good fit' books.  Then we had some time to choose our own books and read quietly to ourselves.
 


We plan to update our page regularly and let you all know about what we have been learning.

  2. Your Reading Cafe looks interesting. We go to the library too but we don't have a cafe. Do you have cups of tea or coffee? What is a good fit book? Does it mean its the right size of letters? We have started out year off with skipping for PE on Fridays with Mrs Linklater. Thank you for taking part in the Glaitness BIG 5 survey. You can see the results on our blog page and we have made posters which will go up in school when the Science Festival is over. PLease have a look at our blog and leave a comment!
