They were watching very closely and really enjoyed the funny parts. Here are a few of our assembly photos.

Watching the Ploughing Competitions

Ploughing

Last Friday we went to see the ploughing. The field was really muddy and it stunk really badly. It was very interesting to watch the tractors go in a straight line. We had to stand behind a line to make sure when the tractors turned around they wouldn’t hit us or hurt us. We walked around and looked at different types of tractors from long ago. We also saw some Clydesdale horses ploughing too. They are awesome horses with huge shaggy feet that look like they have furry boots on! The day was warm and sunny and a nice way of getting out of schoolwork!!

Cycle Safety

Cycle Safety By Lilly
On Wednesday Mr Somerfield came and we did a cycle test around the school courts. There were mini traffic lights, hazards and give way signs. First we rode around the cones in a big line and then Mr Somerfield put the traffic lights on. We had to stop the mini give way sign because that is the rule when you bike on the road. We had to go round the road and put our hands out to indicate round the corner. The hardest bit was when we had to see how slowly we could ride our bikes without wobbling or loosing control. It was fun.

Blogging with Room 5.....











Today we are at the computer suite. We are experimenting with different websites to learn how to use them and think about how we could use them for our homework presentations. So far my favourite is the tag galaxy!
