For art we collected autumn leaves and made interesting woodland animal faces with them, mainly foxes. They look lovely, displayed outside our classroom!

We played dodgeball and football at PE.

Some of us finished our Mayan projects, which are due this Friday. We looked up information, in pairs, under a few different categories, using the chrome books and our history books. One of the sports they played was called Pitz or the Ball game.

In maths we have been revising fractions and learning about proper, improper fractions and mixed numbers. In Core Curriculum we have been learning about Holi, which is a Hindu festival to welcome the spring. It is said to be the most colourful festival in the world. We also learned about Ms. Prole, a former principal of RMDS, who unfortunately passed away earlier this week. We were glad to learn about her legacy and how she contributed to the school.

Ms. Curran visited our class on Thursday afternoon to talk about Haiti, a country where there was a huge earthquake and where she actually went herself afterwards, to help. This was so interesting.

We are doing free writing for our homework this week, which is a bit different from normal spelling work. We are using the spellings from our Learning Words list in the writing.

Thanks for reading!
