Greys class had a busy start to the week with a visit into Henley. It was a cold but beautiful sunny morning and some of us began our visit with a walking tour of Henley. We looked at the different businesses, shops and buildings in our town.
We then went to the Town Hall to meet the Mayor. He gave us a tour dressed in his regalia and had a very knowledgeable assistant called Mrs Greenwood, who told us lots of fascinating facts about the Town Hall and Henley. They couldn’t believe how many questions we asked!
Mrs Greenwood then took some of us on a walk around Henley to a few places of interest filled with more fascinating facts and tales.
We wrote all about our visit in a recount in Big Write using lots of adjectives and conjunctions to make our writing more interesting.
We can’t wait for next week’s trip to St Mary’s Church and the Chantry House to find out more about Henley.
We finished learning about Guy Fawkes and had to pretend that we were Catholics and used adjectives to describe how we would have felt.
In Maths we have been learning all about 2d shapes and their properties. We have used Venn diagrams and Carroll diagrams to sort them. We also used geo boards to see how many different types of irregular and regular 2d shapes we could make.
We painted our diwa lamps and trees and are looking forward to varnishing them next week.
On Monday afternoon Springwood class came in to teach us how to log on and off the netbooks.
We told everybody about the role of the Salvation Army in our Remembrance Day service at Church on Wednesday and we all spoke and performed beautifully.
We have been busy practising for our Christmas play and were very excited when we got our letters about our costume requirements.
