We are looking at Humphrey in Guided Reading

Once we have read on with our new class reader we will answer the letter Humphrey has written on the back of the book. What might you ask? What you might you ask the author? We could blog a comment on her blog!

Next week in RE we will talk about prayer

On Friday we will think about prayer.
We will talk about times when we pray, how we pray and where we pray. This is what Year 3 last year said about prayer. What do you think?

'Prayer is an opportunity to tell God about our life'. ' Prayer is when we spend time on our own with god'.

' We speak to God in our own special time'. When you feel sad and lonely, speak to God and you will probably feel better!'

We have all been making torches and mascots for our Olympics week next week - HAVE A LOOK!

Tomorrow we will look at designing our own Olympic medals

We will be using these facts:

Check out seven fascinating facts about the medals that you will soon see dangling from Olympians’ necks. 1.) Each medal takes 10 hours to make on a special giant press named Colossus. The machine is one of two in the world and was built specifically for these Olympic medals.
 2.) The gold medal actually contains very little gold. It’s made up of 92.5% silver and 1.34% gold with copper filling in the rest.
 3.) The London 2012 medals are the heaviest in Summer Olympic history.
4.) The medals are made in Wales by a company called The Royal Mint. They’re also making special commemorative coins for the games.
5.) The image on the front of the medal is that of ‘Nike’, the Greek Goddess of Sport, stepping out of the Parthenon to arrive to the host city . Most Olympic medals do show this.
 6.) The medals were designed by British artist David Watkins.
 7.) 4,700 medals will be made for the Summer Games!!

This link shows what they look like:
