Aspire not to have more but to be more – St Oscar Romero
Wednesday 24th June
If you are not returning know that we are thinking of you and that we will still be learning the same things... just in different places! 
We are thinking of you all, and although not together in class we are all doing very similar learning activities. It will be a hot day today so you may like to do some of your activites outside in the sunshine. I'm hoping Mr Davies will have the pool up when I get back home so I can do some more deep pool diving from on board my pink flamingo!!! I think I will need to cool down after a hot day at school!
The Wednesday Word...
Will today be led by Mrs Armstrong-Boyle. The word is 'Faith.' Follow the link below to our video page; just look under the 'Wednesday Word' section. I also include a copy of the Wednesday Word leaflet.
Our Literacy Activity
Following on from reading Dougal's Deep Sea Diary last week we are going to have some descriptive fun today. We are going to make a suitcase that would have been suitable for Dougal to take on his diving holiday. If you would like to listen to the story again to give you ideas about what Dougal may have packed, here is a link to last week's page...
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

Information about what equipment you need and pictures to inspire your illustrations...
Our Maths Learning Today...
Warm your tens and units / place value brains up with this game. Click on
'T O' where you see my curser and practice making the numbers given by clicking on the tens and then the units...
Please follow the powerpoint below from Lesson 4
Today we will be using your knowledge of tens and units to work out different ways of showing numbers. These may be represented with numicon pictures, money or rods of tens and units. You are going to cut out the pictures shown below, then picking two at a time place them onto your 'Compare amounts' grid and decide which sign you will put in the middle...
< less the, >greater then or = is equal to...
Once you have decided record them in your book by sticking the pictures in your green book and recording as follows...
Our Topic Work
Please see our separate topic page for our additional curriculum areas. I have added a couple of extra activites on; one a new unit of Aboriginal Art and an additional Science unit on 'Animal Habitats.' This afternoon you may still need time to complete your Dougal suitcase activity. You may like to paint your items in the bag and make Dougal's suitcase very attractive on the outside too. Don't forget to attach a label with his name on and perhaps his destination!
You may also like to spend some time enjoying the sunshine. Why not take your art or science work outside? That's what we will be doing at school.
Have a lovely day!
