We like to surf the net!


Here are some of the websites we have looked at in class:

www.starfall.com - a great site for home reading! Go to the section called "I'm Reading".

Brainpop - some free educational short movies. We watched the Penguin movie and tried the Quiz at the end.

World Maths Day www.worldmathsday.com is a great site if you like a challenge in maths.

Uncle Fred will teach you how to draw some lovely pictures.

Orisinal has some fun games. We like "Snowbowling".

Pancake Day





On Tuesday we made pancakes in the classroom because it was "Pancake Day" (and because we like to eat). We used a simple Procedure:

How to make pancakes

You need: 1 cup of self-raising flour
1 cup of milk
1 egg
Some butter and/or oil for frying

Steps:
1. Mix all the ingredients together.
2. Wait for one hour.
3. Fry the batter in a hot frying pan.

Always get an adult to help you when you want to cook something!

Blue-Tongue



Mr Easton brought a blue-tongue lizard to our classroom. He told us lots about blue-tongues and we asked lots of questions. Thank you, Mr Easton!

Didgeridoo




Playing the didgeridoo can be easy! You have to be careful not to blow too hard - just relax and enjoy!

2M enjoy music

The children in 2M are good singers. One of our favourite songs is "The Cat Came back"




Old Mr Johnson had troubles of his own

He had a yellow cat which wouldn’t leave his home

He tried and he tried to give the cat away

He gave it to a man who was going far away

Chorus:
But the cat came back the very next day

The cat came back; they thought he was a goner

But the cat came back, he just couldn’t stay away.

The man around the corner swore he’d kill that cat on sight
He loaded up his shotgun with nails and dynamite
He waited and he waited for the cat to come around
Ninety-seven pieces of that man was all they found

He gave it to a man going up in a balloon
Told him just to take it to the man in the moon
The balloon came down, about ninety miles away
Where that man is now, well I just couldn’t say.

The H-bomb fell, just the other day
The atom bomb fell in the very same way
England’s gone, Australia’s gone and now the USA
The human race is finished, they had no chance to pray
