We’ve been using ‘Scratch’ to learn coding. We choose a little character called a sprite, add a background, and make him or her move around. We have also made up a little story/movie with our sprite using the coding blocks.

In Geography, we’ve been examining soil. We brought in soil from our gardens and fields. We found lots of little mini-beasts in our soil. There were also dead plants and even some dead mini-beasts in our soil! These make up the humus layer of soil and act like fertiliser to enrich the soil. Did you know that there are about a MILLION microbes in a teaspoon of soil?! We used petri dishes to show bacteria in the soil.

We were lucky to have been invited to visit LA Gymnastics for the last of our 6 week block of Gymnastic sessions. We got to use all of the equipment and had great fun!

We celebrated St. Brigid’s Day this year by making St. Brigid’s Cross in the Junior Classroom.

Santa came to see us on the last day of term…we dressed up in our Christmas hats!

We also enjoyed our beetle drive and making Christmas objects from playdoh!
