Dinosaurs

Hello Everyone,

Well we've almost made it to the last week !  This week we have started learning about dinosaurs - or should I say Mrs Young, Mrs Ball and Miss Cannell have started learning about dinosaurs because Grasshopper Class appear to be experts on dinosaurs !

We did a mind map of everything we knew about dinosaurs on Wednesday and to be honest there isn't much that is left to learn !  Lennon knew more than some of the non fiction books !  We have made split pin dinosaurs and used the paint palettes to paint some great dinosaur pictures.  We have also read lots of dinosaur stories and next week we will have a go at writing our own.  All the school reading books have been collected in now for the Summer holidays - but remember to keep reading.  Gt Yarmouth library has a great selection of books - why not pop along?

Wow Ebony - has Mrs Ball helped you?


In maths we have been trying to recognise and write numbers to 30 ready for Year 1 and we have been thinking about size - length and  height.  We have done lots of measuring with the dinosaurs.

On Tuesday we had a fantastic trip to the Hippodrome Circus - the children really enjoyed watching all the acts.  Mrs Young thought some of the circus performers were crazy - especially the motorbike riders.  She couldn't watch them and Reece had to tell her when they had finished !  The clown Johnny was very funny too and we all loved the Water Spectacular at the end.

This man was funny !


Watch out Mrs Balls !

We loved it when the Ringmaster got stranded !


On Thursday we had a fantastic Sports Day.  All the children were really good sports and really enjoyed racing against each other.  Even the mums, dads and toddlers joined in !  At the end of the morning we were all exhausted but it was really good fun.  Have a look at some of our photos.


Oniaka found a new way to do the hoop race !





 


Diggory is going home with Raphael this week because he is trying hard with his writing.  Well done Raphael - have fun!

This will be the last blog for this year.  Thank you for logging on each week.


Well,  three more days to go at school so see you next week!
