Why we should have a pyjama day on Wednesday.

Dear Ebony

We should really really have a party because it will be really interesting and it will be fun playing with our teddies at school. It will be a fantastic day if we have it on Wednesday. It will be cool to wear our pyjamas and every one will be "wow look at those kids". We were a bit naughty at C.R.E. but we will start being good right now. Please, please, please, can we have are pyjamas day please.

From Jayde

Can we please have a pyjama party because I already know which teddy I'm bringing on Wednesday. We should have pyjama day on Wednesday because I think we have tried a lot last week and I promise we will be the best we can be and do the best we can do. Do you think we need it? I do. I think that way because we do lots of learning and I think it's worth it because on the mat I'm really quiet. And I'm going to try to listen to every little thing to do something special like pyjama day.

Determination

We had a try last week on our own to make a pinwheel in five minutes. We all found it really hard and had to leave it unfinished. Today we worked together as a class and had the afternoon to make it.

We all showed determination to keep going when it was tricky, find some clues that could help you or ask someone for help. We all felt very proud when our pinwheels spun around in the wind.

Can you make one? Click on the link below and try one for yourself!

What is the perimeter of this shape? How do you work it out?

What is determination?
