It has been our first full week and we have had so much fun!

We have counted the traffic that has passed by and used the information to make bar charts as part of our Maths activity. We have continued our topic "All About You", even making iMovies about each other. This week we changed up our Daily exercise routine and particpated in many different activities around the school, including yoga, playground games and circuit training with Mr Davies, which was really fun... and tiring! We have had an in-house (class) Sumdog Contest! We have practiced our watercolour painting technique! Some managing to get more paint on their cheeks and noses than on the paper! We were also rewarded with Golden Time on Friday due to our 100% attendance for the whole week and a fantatsic attitude to learning throughout the week, when completing our important tasks! It is also worth noting that in a team building exercise, the girls managed to building a record breaking Kapla Tower, which was taller than Mr Davies and Mr Brook!!
