We are doing a drama based on the book "Ladybird on a Bicycle". Here is a picture of us making a giant map of the ladybird's journey from the Ladybird Tree to the spider's web, to the grassy field, to the brim of a girl's hat, to the field of flowers, to the back of a cow, to a cabbage field, into a lady's basket and then back home.
Thank you to everyone who filled up a shoebox full of lovely things for a girl or boy in a far away place who may not get a lot of presents this Christmas. They are now on their way across the sea to reach the children in time for Christmas!
We used pairs of socks to learn about odd and even numbers. You could do it at home too!
Look at the spooky visitors who came to our classroom on the last day before the Halloween break!
We played games for Halloween. Some 6th class boys and girls came to help us.
We had fun playing conkers at school. Thank you to Miss Wynne's Fourth class for lending us their conkers.

We went outside and did a traffic survey. Different people counted different vehicles during a ten minute period. When we went back into the class, we made a bar graph to represent what we had counted.
We found there were a lot more cars than any other vehicles.
