May Day Week

Hello,

We have had a lovely day, starting with our May Day celebrations today. We felt very lucky that the rain stayed away for our performance this morning. We all looked fantastic in our smart clothes. Well done Isabelle and Daniel on being our May Queen and King, you did a great job! 
We enjoyed our dance called 'buttered peas' and we hope you did too. We also liked watching the other children do their dances and thought they all did really well. We loved watching the may pole dancing in Year Two, and we look forward to doing the may pole next year.

In Maths this week we have been doubling. We used different way to double, arrays, repeated addition and multiplication. We know that double 6 is 12 or 6+6=12 or 2 x 6 = 12.
We enjoyed doubling a recipe, making a fruit salad.

In English we carried on our work on explanations. We looked at two ramps and explained why one went down the ramp quicker than the other one. We used words like steeper, lower, faster and slower.
Today we also did a piece of creative writing. We all came up with our own idea and wrote an adventure, some with flying cars, or houses, or tree. Some of us went to chocolate land, some went to hamster land and some of us went to Portugal or Scotland!

This week has been walk to school week. Lots of us have walked to school, or come on scooter or bike. On Wednesday some of us walked with Mrs Carey from the common. It has been really good for our environment and our health!

This week Plop is having a rest and a bath and will fly home with Mrs Carey.
The star award this week goes to someone who has overcome something they found tricky. They did a fantastic job at being May King, well done Daniel!

We hope you all have a lovely half term.

Love Oak Class
