Class Assembly

Last Friday we had our class assembly with the Mighty Minions. We did a play based on Room on the Broom. It was very funny and we had an amazing time practicing. Have a look at the video of it:

Brain Time!

After a long absence we are back!

Last week in Brain Time Mr Davidson gave us a challenge to get the bee bot from the "Z" to the "F." Here is a video of Corrina's Bee Bot completing the task. Well done Corrina!

Flower Power Wednesday

This week, Preses got the flower because she was kind to Corrina when she was upset. Great work Preses! What a great friend.

FMS Sport

On Wednesday we went to the hall to do FMS Sport. We learned how to do an overhand throw. You put your hand straight and your feet have to face the wall. Then you can throw it.  See how we do it:

We played a game after that. You had to throw the bean bag to the floor. Everybody has to get it back in the square. We have to run and get some points when they are getting the bean bags. Have a look:

300!

Last year when we were The Learning Lions, we started counting by one every day. When we got ten sticks we made a bundle of 10. When we got ten bundles of 10 we made a bundle of 100. Today we got to 300! That's a lot of days at school. Sini has only missed two of those days and that's because he was really, really sick. Do you think we will get to 400?

This week we are learning about Cyprus. Cyprus is a country in the Commonwealth and this week it is the Commonwealth Games. They are in Glasgow, Scotland. Here is a picture of Cyprus's flag. On the flag is their country and two olive branches. The branches and the white stand for peace.

So far, they have 2 gold medals, 1 silver medal and 2 bronze medals. That's 5 medals total.
