Wow, well what a jam packed day we had for World Book Day! We transformed our classroom into Hogwarts, finding out which house the sorting hat had decided we were in, making potions, having a negative number cauldron lesson with Professor Snape and used chalk to create spooky pictures of Hogwarts at night. We hoped to play Quidditch at the end of the day, but we simply ran out of time!

However, we managed to squeeze a few games in during P.E and golden time the next day. I want to know though, which was your favourite part of the day?

Mr Lyons

We had lots of fun travelling through a range of Roald Dahl books, using our imaginations to meet many different characters and improving our ball skills, balancing skills and awareness when moving to each new land. It was tricky but lots of fun! Which skill was your favourite? Have you practiced any at home?

Part of our Maths lesson today is to have a go at playing alien angles. You need to apply your understanding of angles to estimate the sizes to save the aliens! Click on the alien to play the game.

After our super sentences work on Thursday, I wonder who can write an -EDINGLY opener sentence for each of the pictures?
