Another busy week, by Mrs McLennan
Date: 7th Dec 2018 @ 4:35pm
We have been continuing to work hard this week. We’ve written letters imagining that we were soldiers in the trenches. We used our history skills to find out lots of information and discovered if it was primary or secondary evidence. We used this knowledge to add detail in our letters. Yesterday we had a visit to the library and listened to Tom read some Christmas stories- they made us laugh out loud. We’ve also been busy learning about fractions.

Last Friday, we enjoyed our phenomenal class compliment treat. We got to wear our PJ's and bring pillows and blankets in. We also got to watch Arthur Christmas - an awesome movie! So far this week we have been up-levelling loathsomely boring sentences into magnificent, academic sentences. We also got to learn about the festival of Hannukah, as it is the second day of Hannukah today. It is a special Jewish festival that the celebrate for eight days because of a miracle that somehow made the candle last for eight days even though there was only enough oil for one day!
