Urgent - Invasion Games Tournament Monday afternoon

In the confusion of last week we forgot to send a notice home asking Year 3 / 4 children to have sports gear (tracksuit pants/leggings and suitable footwear) at school on Monday (hopefully). Mrs Jones is running an Invasion Games tournament from 1 - 2.45 on our field. We will be competing against children from other schools, so fingers crossed that the snow has cleared and it's not a southerly gale so that we can hold the event.

Can you please bring some sports gear on Monday? If you see any of your friends from St Albans this weekend please make sure they know to do this too ( you could even give them a call ).
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again bright and early on Monday morning. We have a busy day ahead as we also have a choir practice for the concert. 


Keep warm - I'm loving my log fire this week!

Butterfly Garden Underway

Development of the butterfly garden is underway! Everyone was very excited to be able to get their hands dirty and contribute towards the project. Thanks to Jock Scott for his skills and assistance with the garden edging. Here are some photos taken by the children. 

Inquiry Presentation to PTA

On Wednesday night, five children from Room 19 had the opportunity to present our Inquiry proposal at the PTA Meeting. Luca, Nicole, Niamh M, Lachlan and Charlotte talked about our idea for a butterfly garden.  They did an awesome job and we hope to start building the garden next week. Check out our wall display in the classroom for more information.

Thanks to Sam Coultas from Room 21 for the photos.

Bug Prints

Last Friday we started making prints with Mrs Brown. We looked at pictures of insects, did a practice drawing then carved it into a piece of polystyrene tray. After that we used rollers and ink to coat the tray then pressed it carefully onto a piece of paper.

Here are a few pictures of our first efforts taken by Jada-Lee our class photographer last week.
