This week we were working on weight in Maths. We spent some time using bucket balances and we used the words heavy, light, heavier and lighter.

It was Science Week this week so we did some experiments in Room 7. We became scientists and made predictions, asked questions and observed the results. We put gummy bears in different liquids to see what happened, we did a fun experiment with Skittles and hot and cold water, we put celery into water with red food colouring and raisins into soda water.

We are working hard during our Literacy Stations. We are working on our pre-writing skills, our fine motor skills, our listening skills and our phonological awareness skills. We rotate our activities. The boys are doing very well learning to work independently for some of their activities and for some of their activities and games they work with a teacher. Well done boys!

Today we had a lovely surprise as we had a visit from some firemen with their fire truck! We had such fun as they let us try out using their fire hose and we also got to climb up into the fire truck!

The boys in Room 7 all had such fantastic costumes. We had a great time on our Witch Walk today and also did a fun Hallowe’en picture hunt in our classroom. Happy Hallowe’en everyone!

The boys in Room 7 have been working hard on their Maths skills. We have been making patterns, making sets, making sets with odd ones out and doing lots of sorting and matching.

We loved reading the story ‘Winnie the Witch’. Well done boys on a great job painting Winnie – all of the paintings turned out so well and the boys worked so hard on them.

We had fun today doing our Circle Time in the library. We talked about our 5 senses and focused on the sense of touch. We passed around items that feel rough, smooth, soft and hard. We also talked about staying safe at Hallowe’en.

We have been learning all about autumn and trees and went on a short nature walk yesterday. Today the boys did a great job painting autumn trees. Well done boys!
