Lots of fun in Class 7 this month. We have been working hard in World Around Us, looking at living and non-living things and sorting them correctly. We also looked at directions and used a Beebot to move forward, backward, left and right before then taking a look at all the different coloured cars and vans going past our school and making a chart. Cookery was great fun having boiled eggs with toast soldiers and making fruit kebabs. The pupils were then able to sort healthy and unhealthy foods for our bodies.
The Safety Bus came to tell everyone how to wait for the bus safely, what to do when you get on the bus and most importantly how to behave on the bus. We also enjoyed a surprise trip to Solitude Park, which was great fun in the sun, followed by a tasty lunch in Friar Tucks. Class 7 have been working so hard on learning lots but also having lots of fun too.
