Do you know your tenses?

We're posting this link, by popular request, from our lesson on tenses today.

Help Star to launch her rocket by choosing the correct tense - BLAST OFF!


http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/starship/english/games/blast_the_rocket/small_sound/standard.shtml 


Remember, this is useful for our work on non-chronological reports - which tense should it be written in, PAST or PRESENT?

Another song to help you remember 2D shapes!

What do you know about 2D shapes? What are their properties?
You'll never forget now that this song will be stuck in your head!





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!




Another catchy tune for our shape work!

Here is the other site that we used to day for shape - this time to describe the properties of 3D shapes!
