The choice is yours...

As part of our preparation for our First Confessions we have been discussing Good and Bad choices, and the consequences it has on others, as well as ourselves.

Take some time to reflect on your recent actions...Was it a Good or Bad choice? How did it make others feel?  How did it make you feel?  Could you have made a different choice?

Teeth and Eggs - whatever next?

Today, in science, we discovered that the shell of an egg is similar to the enamel on our teeth.  We watched this video to understand how sugary drinks can effect our teeth.

Perhaps you would like to have a go at this experiment at home - don't forget to record your results and share them with the class.

Remember - DON'T WORRY, JUST BRUSH YOUR TEETH REGULARLY.....SIMPLES!

What's the difference?

Today we have done some follow up work on our school trip to Middleton. 
We have compared the locations of where we live and Middleton.  Can you remember what we have found out?  What is similar and what is different?  Where would you rather live and why?

Practise all kinds of maths!

Here is a useful link that we have been using in our maths lessons to practise all kinds of areas of maths including times tables, addition and subtraction, and number sequences and patterns.
