For Maths this week we started to learn about estimating, we held different amounts of objects in our hands and our partner had to guess how many, we then counted to see if we were correct. We also estimated how many cubes could fit in different shapes.

During Literacy we talked about how stories are composed such as, characters, exciting events and story language. We then had a go at making our own stories! The boys used their imaginations and came up with some fascinating ideas, including ‘beady eyed monsters’ and ‘creepy castles’.

 

After half term the boys will be making a large coin mosaic with the Year 8 boys to celebrate Lochinver’s 70th anniversary. We need to try and fill up our coin jar with as many coins as possible (it’s nearly full, we just need a few more!), lots of pennies and 2 pence coins please! If we could have all coins in by the Monday after half term, thank you.

 

Colour mixing:

We found out…..

Red and blue make purple.

Yellow and red make orange.

Blue and yellow make green.

Red and white make pink.

 

On Friday we said a big thank you and goodbye to Mrs Demery. Pre Prep sung to Mrs Demery and presented her with a book that everyone had contributed to. We will miss her very much and wish her the best of luck for the future.
