Mrs Whiteford

Mrs Whiteford's classes have had a good first term with lots of learning and fun activities going on.

P1 and P2/1 have been learning about the world
through the creation story. We have explored dark places, been out
collecting and examining plants and finding out about trees. This term
we will learn about the sun and moon, animals and how we can look after
our world.

P3/2 and P3 have been thinking about people who are special
to us and our community and are now considering why Jesus is special to
Christians. P3 have also been learning what it was like to live in 1st
century Palestine. We made up games using sticks and stones, made pots
from clay and bread which tasted delicious. We have been trying to
write and follow instructions.

P4 and P5/4 have been learning about the
parables of Jesus and thinking what the meaning behind these stories
are. We had fun acting out modern day versions of the Good Samaritan.

P4 are moving onto doing some science. We are going to be asking How
and Why questions about water.

P5's have started learning French and
have been learning how to greet each other and ask and answer questions
about ourselves. We think we sound a bit strange but we are having fun
learning how other people say things.

In P6/5 and P6 we have been learning about the lives of some
saints and were considering whether we thought Martin Luther King
should be called a saint. We are going to make pizza box biographies of
other people who have become famous because their faith has led them to
do something special.

P6's in P6/5 have also been
continuing with French and are becoming experts at talking about houses
and homes.

P6 have also been improving their netball skills
and have enjoyed playing proper games wearing position bibs. To finish
we had an inter-house competition. Calder were the overall winners but
not by much.
