Digital Cameras

We have been learning about Digital Cameras. Mrs Gunn asked us to do 'first thinking' about parts of the camera. We brainstormed what we knew about using the camera and the what we thought the different parts were for.
Can you name all these parts?

Reading Rocks!

Adrian came to St James' School, during book week, to talk to us about how Reading Rocks!
He showed us how he learnt to Juggle and use a unicycle all because he could read!
He talked to us about how we can use our 'imagination' to go anywhere, be anything and do anything we like as we use our imagination to read!
When we read with Mrs Gunn, we are learning to...
use our pointing finger
learn and remember new words
sound out tricky words
remember the names of puntucation
read like we talk and
answer some questions about what we have read!
We love using our imagination too of course!

Trampoline
Cutting cheese and much much more!

Addition Rock

We have been working hard at learning our basic facts doubles to 10! We have learnt a new song called addition rock, to help us say our facts off by heart!

1+1 is 2
2+2= 4
3+3=6
4+4=8
5+5=10
I like you won't you be my friend!
So that's addition rock so everybody sing it again!

God the Holy Spirit - Te Wairua Tapu

In Religious Education, we have been learning about the Holy Spirit - Te Wairua Tapu.
We did some talking about how the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit are one God. This is the mystery of Go who is so great and so different from us. We can try and understand more about God who loves us. We did an experiment to help us. We saw how 3 colours blended together to become one. We can speak of and pray to each of the three persons but we must remember that they are all one God.

We talked about how the Holy Spirit is like water - it fills us up no matter what shape we are, it gives us life, it cleans us and it makes us grow.
